    I know the answer to this, but someone is arguing with me.

    Are lost yardage on sacks counted against a quarterback's passing yardage?

    Help a sister out. I'm on deadline.

    I take it off rushing yardage in high school. I've seen some writers just take it off the team rushing total and leave the QB untouched; I disagree with this method.
