Which offensive positions did Shaughnessy's T formation modernization mainly benefit?

  • Running back and wide receiver

  • Quarterback and receiver

  • Offensive line and tight end

  • Fullback and halfback

Answer

Shaughnessy's T formation modernization mainly benefited the quarterback and receiver positions. This is because the T formation allowed for more passing plays, which gave quarterbacks more opportunities to make plays and receivers more opportunities to catch the ball. The T formation also helped to protect the quarterback, as it made it more difficult for defenders to get to him.
