Lots of good info on the diamond formation here, and linked in the article as well.

It's a simple game in which strategic beauty comes not from being surprised by some new clever trick, but from the sublime, routine brilliance of a master in his element.
Very tough on a team like IA that likes to keep 2 safeties high. Also allows a little more misdirection in backfield than a normal gun formation with different reads to throw defenses off.
To run it effectively though, in my experience, you need a back like Woody who can block like a fullback, but also be a threat to carry the ball every onceinawhile
Exaggeration is a BILLION times worse than understating.
