I could see a realistic exception to that one though- if you've got 12 guys on the field, and the coach sees it, he can call a timeout.

So even if they line up with 12 guys- the trick for the offense would be to snap the ball quicker- get either a timeout or a 5 yard penalty called against the other team.
