I saw the title and instantly thought "wrong ball trick".
It's so shady and dishonorable that I would not hesitate to use it if the situation were desperate enough.
We had a "Where's the kicking tee" play in high school.
The holder was the starting QB and the kicker was a WR.
We would line up in a FG formation then start yelling for the kicking tee. As the kicker passed the hash, the center snapped the ball and the kicker took off down the field.
We never ran it in a game though.
Trick plays are usually nine parts desperation and one part matchups. A few years back, we were ahead in a game against our rival at the end of the season, up by 4, with about 4:00 to go on our own 20 with a 4th-and-5. For the one time all season, we called a fake punt and got it.
Next play, the QB fumbled the snap and they went in three plays later.
