STATISTICAL SCORING RULES
SECTION 3 — RUSHING PLAYS
- Every play from scrimmage is to be ruled as a rushing play except:
- Rushing yardage is measured from the line of scrimmage to the point where the ball is declared dead or is recovered by the opponents in the case of a fumble.
- The rushing total is a net figure. All rushing losses must be recorded to account for the net figure. Such losses will also be taken into account in determining the rushing records of individual players.
- The player charged with the carry will be the player who carries the ball across the line of scrimmage, or is the player responsible for a fumble, or the player in possession, whichever is applicable, when the play is stopped behind the line of scrimmage.
- All gains on lateral passes that originated or grew out of a rushing play are included in rushing yardage, See Section 7.
