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.
Sure, but ALL the linemen matching up?

Of course in the play we had the QB threw a screen to the snapper beyond the line and the other coach (winning by 46 points) was screaming for an ineligible downfield, which of course didn't happen. The play gained about 5 yards and there was one more attempt at this before the game ended.
