Yes. With a running back on the field, 7v7 can hand the ball off up the middle, run power from a Gun I look, and jet-sweep the edge. The quarterback still cannot keep it past the line, so every run is a handoff or a sweep to a teammate.
Smash is the premier red-zone 7v7 play. The hitch holds the corner defender low while the corner route beats him over the top, giving the quarterback a simple high-low read inside the twenty. Power is the best short-yardage answer.
