And they'd better not forget to keep 2 or 3 players home with the ball, or they snap it and the QB goes in untouched.
Used most often on XP, but I've seen it occasionally on other plays, especially after a timeout.

We see the swinging gate from one school that uses it on the try. Most of the time they shift the line over to the snapper and go ahead with the kick. Once, last year, they snapped to a back and they ran it. It caused problems since we had the LJ under the uprights which caused us to not have good coverage of the goal line.
