There are several plays like that. Nebraska used one a number of years ago against Missouri. In a punt formation, the center snapped the ball to the upback. The upback placed the ball between his legs and crouched down in a blocking position. The end or flanker came around, took the ball from between the upbacks legs and continued around end for a TD. The Missouri players had no idea where the ball was until the back crossed the goal line.
Supposedly Bum Phillips came up with that one which is why they called it the bumarooski.

OK, thanks. I had heard of fumblerooski, just not of the bumarooski. I also remember Nebraska ran it for a TD against Miami in the 1984 Orange Bowl (a game which Miami ended up winning for the NC).
