Yeah, what I do for that is if the receiver lines up inside the 5, even if it's at the 2 or 1, the defender can line up on the goal line, that way there's no auto pass into the 5-yard bubble for a touchdown.
Also, the yard distances between levels in the defense are washed out there, since there's so little room to work with. I just line them up as far as they'll go, but the safeties are obviously much closer.
The Nelson-to-Edwards touchdown yesterday for BYU was so pretty. Lined up to run the tailback, but Ohio State stuffed the middle and the safeties pinched in on the receivers. But Edwards, the tight end to the right, slipped the linebacker covering him, got behind the OSU line, and coasted to the back to the end zone in the middle to catch the touchdown. I wish I had grabbed video of it because it was a perfectly executed goal-line play.
