In the UMASS Spread PB there is an ACE Big Empty formation. It's on the last page of the ACE BIG formation, there are 2 plays which have the HB line up on the strong side, similar to how a TE would line up off the LOS. Interesting wrinkle I haven't seen before.

There's one formation, I don't recall which, where there are several plays where you have 4 wide, and the HB will either line up directly in Empty, or he will motion out of the backfield and into a 5 WR spot. They're either the same as Ace Big Empty, or at least a compliment to them.

Kind of like how Ace Big has several auto-motion plays that are exactly like Ace Big Wing.
