Football stat question. (I swear I searched all over).....

[schiezainc]

Ok, first I looked in the official NCAA handbook then I searched online and then I search on this board so please don't kill me.

I'm putting together my box score for a game I went to today. Just wondering....

Kick goes out of bounds, receiving team gets ball at the 35-yard line.

How does this impact the kicking team's total penalty yards for a game. I have them with 6 penalties for 36 yards excluding the kick. Does it count as a penalty and if so, how many yards?

MOTHERF$#%ER!!

How DARE you come here asking this question!!!

BILE!!! BITTERNESS!!!!! BLECH!!!!!!!!!

Answer: I'm actually not sure. It is called as a penalty on the field, but I don't know how they count the yardage for it, if at all.

I figured it would count as an additional penalty but no actual yards. I'm not going to lie though, I was a bit afraid of even mentioning that I had a question. Lest I upset the masses.

The big question is: Did the team on offense run a hook and lateral on the first play?

 

[KYSportsWriter]

Give the kicking team a penalty, but no yardage.

 

[HandsomeHarley]

It's a 15-yard penalty.

The receiving team has the option of taking the ball where it went out of bounds, declining the penalty, or they can take it at the 20, with a 15-yard penalty, putting it at the 35 - at least in high school.

No, the coach called a hook and ladder and three sports writers yelled at him from the press box.

You'd better have been one of them.

NFHS:

When a kickoff goes out of bounds and is kicked again, charge Team A with a penalty of 5 yards from the previous spot. When a kickoff goes out of bounds and is taken at the awarded spot, do not charge Team A with a penalty, as this is an awarded spot by rule.

Ok. Three people, three answers.

I hate compiling stats

I like your answer the best. It seems the most offical. What, with it being in a quote box and all.

Thanks all.

 

[pseudo]

No prob. To get technical, that quote is from the NFHS stats manual, Page 31, Provision 7.

They're all out and about right now going: "I can't believe those assholes asked about hook and laterals again. God, why can't they just memorize every post since 2003 already?"

Not to mention dismissing any thoughts that don't agree with their own as sophomoric, childish and idiotic. (Yes, all three).

I have a feeling we're going to get a long rant in a couple of minutes from someone that sounds a lot like the "Back in my day....." speech.

 

[editorhoo]

To address the original question, I believe kicking the ball out of bounds is an illegal procedure penalty -- 5 yards. The receiving team has the option of accepting the penalty and making the kicking team re-kick, or if they decline, they can have the ball at the 35. So if they start from the 35 there is no penalty because it was declined.

Of course, I could be wrong, and it could be different from state-to-state.

 

[BrianGriffin]

It's a 15-yard penalty and the loss of d_b privileges for a week. And a loss of down, plus the offending team is no longer allowed to use the hook and ladder, unless they throw it out of bounds, in which case the defense gets the ball at the 35 and the hook gets charged with a five-yard penalty and the ladder gets ejected for illegal language procedure.

Got all that?

 

[KYSportsWriter]

But it's a 5-yarder according to the NFHS.

Don't know why, but I was always told to give the kicking team a penalty but no penalty yardage.

Guess I was told wrong ...

Self-righteous. Golly, I forgot self-righteous.

And since we're getting different answers, the original poster has the right to charge all of you with delay of game ...

fair enough... I expected a sideline warning
