I'm new to keeping stats and no ne seems to be able to answer my question. Line of scrimmage is the 20 yard line. Ball carrier runs for 30 yards however there is a penalty on the play at the 40 yard line that puts the ball at the 30 yard line. Is the ball carrier credited with 30 yards rushing, 20 yards rushing or 10 yards rushing?

He gets the rushing credit up to the point where the flag was thrown...then the penalty goes from there. So in your case, I'm assuming there was a holding call at the 40...the RB would get a 20 yard run, not a 30, and then 10 penalty yards taken off of that... Article 1. When yardage gained by rushing, passing or runbacks is involved with penalty yardage to be assessed, the point at which the official declares the run ends determines the point of legal advance. It also determines where a run begins (e.g., when Team B catches a fumble in the air and returns it). If the foul is by Team A and occurs behind the spot where the run ends, the enforcement is from the spot of the foul as long as it is beyond the previous spot [see (a) above]. A.R. 1. Team A’s ball on Team B’s 40. Adams rushes for 15 yards to Team B’s 25. A clipping penalty is called against Team A on Team B’s 30. The enforcement spot is the 30 and Team A is penalized 15 yards to Team B’s 45. Credit Adams with a rush of 10 yards and charge Team A with a penalty of 15 yards I have the entire PDF for the NCAA rules that you can download at www.ncaa.org/library/statistical/football_stats_manual/2007/2007_football_stats_manual.pdf |
