Best Answer

Generally speaking the best formation for handing off the ball to a running back is one where the quarterback is positioned under the center. This better enables the running back to gain speed and momentum before he receives the ball. Most running backs prefer it this way as opposed to receiving the ball when the quarterback is in a shotgun formation position.
