What is that one seemingly unstoppable pitch play called?

EDIT: Pic added below

Every time I get beat by more than a touchdown or two, it's because someone uses this pitch play. I don't know how exactly to describe it except that I think it uses two fullbacks and it's really, really effective. The only way I've figured out how to stop it is by running everyone in that direction...and then they just audible the pitch in the other direction and score anyway. I wish I could give more details...but the people with really really good records online always seem to use this play.

Anyone know what I'm talking about?

EDIT: I drew a crappy picture of roughly what the starting positions look like:

I think I know of the play...I'd assume its a power formation and they're using a sweep play of some sort, but typically I just call these CHEESE because that is what they are. Its an exploit of a known issue with the AI. That play is a big part in why I just don't play random online games anymore, as pretty much everyone who still plays random online matches typically picks Oregon and runs sweeps 45 times a game

Thanks! That definitely looks like part of it:


...but then if I recall correctly there's a WR on the left too...are there any plays like that?

And more importantly...how do I stop it??

I'm running the pro offense, and I don't have this formation under goal line.

However I do have a similar play that's just as effective.
My starter ran for over 350 yards last night, and I subbed him out in the 3rd, and my backups ran for over 150 more.... and I was only using it every few plays. It usually worked for a TD, and always worked for at least 5-6 yards.

It's not under goalline, but Strong I.
You pick tight formation with your (RS), and it pulls your tight ends into a goal line style of formation.
It doesn't have two fullbacks, but the one FB you do have is off to the right like you're drawing.
Instead of a 2nd FB you have a receiver out to the side you're running to.

There are a few plays, and they all work well, but Sweep works the best.
Two linemen pull out to the strong side that you're running to, and always pick up all the blocks. I rarely had to juke anyone, and just had to stay behind my blockers until I was past the secondary.

It's too easy to run, even on heisman settings, so I don't suggest it, but thought you might like to try it, if you don't have the Power I formation.
