I remember in 90and 91, when the Argos had short yardage, they would empty the backfield and put 3 recieves wide on either side. It the D didn't respect that formation, and not account for each receiver, you had an easy pass play. If they did respect it, than there was lots of room for the QB to pick his hole on the sneak. Argos would routinely get 3-4 yards on sneaks back then.
I believe Dunigan used a short-yardage play in 1990 to throw a TD pass to Mike Campbell.
