Im trying to figure out what formation were the Huskers lined up in against the Ragin' Cajuns where they had 3 TE's on one side and the Zac Lee had them motion to the other side?

 
The Truffle Shuffle???

How about, "the formation that, when we are in it, we will always run a toss play to that side of the field, and if it is just outside the red zone and it is a toss to the right, it might be a halfback pass."

 
Well truthfully there is so much you can do with that formation, especially with 3 TE's on one side. We just ran a toss play every time that gave us a few yards, it wasnt a big time gain like 10 yards or more.

You could setup a TE/WR screen, or HB screen. You could run a HB pass to either one of the TE's or the WR on the right side. You could even run a variation of the Black 41 Flash Reverse, except no reverse, just have the HB pass to the QB on the left side maybe on a post inside route. You could line either Green or Washington in the WR spot and make it look like a WR screen, but once again its a pass to the QB or the HB if you give him a route.

There is so many things you can do with that formation. I figured out what it is, its the Ace Bunch formation, the only thing is instead of 2 WR being in the mix, its stacked TE's.

 
As I told my brother on saturday, it looks to me like we are setting up for a pass back to Lee. He is WIDE open on that play every single time we run it. Remember Lucky's HB pass a few years ago started as a run to that side every time we were in that formation.

Or fake the toss to the half back and roll the QB out. QB has option to run or find one of the TEs who's gotten lost in the wash. Really effective if the DE on the opposite side is constantly pursuing the RB from the behind. Or is that already a play out of some other formation?

No, that's a good one. I know we only ran the toss on that formation, but im sure Watson has much more written up for it, i hope we see them in the coming games of the conference.
