In Nebraska we run a lot of 8-man games in the rural areas.

The rules differences are printed in the back of the book.

5 on the line, no numberring requirements. 80 yard field, touchback/safety ball put in play at the 15. TIck marks at 7 yards instead of 9. Kickoff from the 30.

As far as mechanics no real difference in our area. You stil have 5 eligiible receivers (including the QB) so keys don't really change. When wings pinch in to mark a spot they are generally close enough to the U to relay the ball directly to the U without triangulating with R or BJ, because the field is narrower.
