  • 1940: the Triumph of the T
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 18, No. 1 (1996) 1940: THE TRIUMPH OF THE T By Bob Carroll The United States ended World War II with the biggest explosions ever seen on the planet up to then -- Hiroshima and Nagasaki. For pro football, the decade began with the biggest explosion ever on an NFL field -- the Chicago Bears' 73-0 blasting of the Washington Redskins. In the great scheme of things, happenings on a hundred-yard field may be of little importance compared to the events of a World War, but to a football fanatic the year 1940 is of crucial importance to the development of their game. The Bears' one-sided win led to the eventual triumph of the T-formation in all its guises as the premier attacking system. Once the lethal qualities of the T had been so thoroughly demonstrated by Chicago, other teams began redesigning their offenses. The switch was not accomplished overnight -- the Pittsburgh Steelers held onto their single-wing attack until 1952 and a few college teams still resisted the T into the 1960s. But by the end of the war in 1945, the T had clearly become the dominant method of moving a football. The T-formation lent itself to passing far better than the old wing attacks. The quarterback who began every play was the key man. By turning his back to the line of scrimmage as soon as he got the snap, the quarterback hid what he was going to do with the football from the defense. He might hand-off or pitch- out, and that froze the defenses long enough for him to spot a receiver and throw to him.

The Lions left the 2017 Division II football national champions, defeating West Florida in a thrilling 37-27 champion- ship game. “That was a fantastic game played by two really good football teams,” Lions head coach Colby Carthel said. “I’m still not really sure we’re the two best teams in Division II, but we’re the two best teams that got it done during the playoffs. “We both had a long hard road through the playoffs to get to this stage. Tonight it was two good teams battling it out and we made a few more plays than they did to pull out the victory.” Carthel took over a program that had a history of losing seasons and turned the Lions into Lone Star Conference champions seemingly over night. West Florida head coach Pete Shinnick had his program sitting on the cusp of a national championship in just its second season. “I’m extremely proud of our guys,” Shinnick said. “Just how they continued to fight and continued to play throughout the course of this season. I think the type of team we have, when we got the ball there at the end, every one on the sideline is thinking we’re going to score and get the onside kick.
