Lost yards from sacks count against a QB rushing stats?

[peteep]

Pretty sure they do just double checking.

 

[The General]

yes, sir

 

[Glaken]

Yes I would think so .... I wonder if they are subtracted from Net Rushing - Probably

 

[peteep]

Thanks guys

No they dont just look at in game stats have Hasselback 1 rush for 9 yards
Have Pitt defense 1 sack for 4 yards.

did not subtract the sack from his yards or count it as a rush attempt for Hasselback.

Must be up to a official scorer if he feels it was a rushing attempt on the part of the QB

 

[The General]

Prob goes toward Net yards. Maybe not. :+clueless

 

[dirty]

Sacks only count against a Teams Net Rushing yards.......Those are not totalled into any Realtime stats....Sacks are deducted at the end of the game.....

 

[highnine]

sack yards are subtracted from gross passing yards to get net passing yards.

see Final Team Stats section
http://www.superbowl.com/gamecenter/gamebook/NFL_20060122_CAR@SEA

NET YARDS PASSING 176 203
Times thrown - yards lost attempting to pass 2-20 2-16
Gross yards passing 196 219

 

[highnine]

in NFL sacks are not part of any rushing stats. they are part of passing yards/stats only

 

[Glaken]

in NFL sacks are not part of any rushing stats. they are part of passing yards/stats only

This is correct

 

[wrigley]

However taking a QB taking a knee at the end of a half or game counts as a Rush attempt and they usually count for 2-3 yards in losses.

 

[highnine]

you are correct wrigley and spiking the ball counts as a pass attempt

In the NFL sacks count as a reduction of passing yards.

In college sacks count as a reduction of rushing yards.
