I seen that in action last friday on Comcast west. Directv supplies it, so you should be able to get the feeds. They show a game from a big time program in Nor Cal every week.

You asked for me to describe the split T formation. OK, the QB is under center, 2 yards deeper are two halfbacks side by side with the FB 2 yards deeper between the HB's.
We had what was called the "belly series" whereby the QB took the snap, turned either right or left, put the ball in the halfbacks belly (with both hands) and rode with the HB to the los. If he saw a hole opening, he pulled out his hands and let the HB have the ball. If no hole, he pulled out the ball, spun and gave it to the FB or kept it and/or passed. I think it would work today as it depended upon sleight of hand rather than speed. That's probably why Marv Levy used the split T's cousin, the Wing T when he found himself top heavy with RB's.
