Can a quarterback go for a pass after handing the ball off to a running back or wide receiver?
If a quarterback and the entire ball are in front of the line of scrimmage then a forward pass can no longer be thrown but a lateral is still a legal play. However, by the act of crossing the line of scrimmage, the quarterback does not lose the right to throw a forward pass as long as after crossing the line scrimmage, the ball returns behind and is thrown from behind the line scrimmage.

Who gets the rushing yards on an option play?
That would depend on when the ball was lateralled to the running back. If the ball was lateralled behind the line of scrimmage, the running back would be credited with all of the yards. But if the ball was lateralled past the line of scrimmage, the quarterback would be credited with the number of yards he had gained before lateralling and the running back would be credited with the rest. Example: Ball is at the offense's 30 yard line. Offense runs an option play. The quarterback gets to the 32 yard line and laterals to the running back who gets knocked out of bounds at the 45. The play gained 15 yards. Since the quarterback lateralled the ball at the 32, and the original line of scrimmage was the 30, the quarterback would be credited with 2 yards rushing and the running back would be credited with 13 yards rushing.
What do fullbacks do in football?
There isn't a specific answer to this question. Theoretically the difference between a full-back or half-back is simply a question of formation. The same player could be said to be in any of those positions depending on where he is in relation to other players. In a standard Power I formation, where you have the quarterback behind the center, a back behind the qb and a second back behind the first back - you would have, in order: Quarterback - Fullback - Running Back. The same players in a formation, such as a Split back where the backs stand side-by-side behind the quarter back would yield: Quarterback - Running Back - Running Back. So it's merely a question of semantics. In the current NFL, players who are often used as Full Backs, are traditionally used as blockers for the other running back. This player is often a larger running back. It's not uncommon to see these players block, receive passes and rush the ball.

How does a quarterback execute a successful running back handoff during a football game?
To execute a successful running back handoff in football, the quarterback must first receive the snap from the center. The quarterback then extends the ball towards the running back's midsection, making sure to securely place it in the running back's arms. The running back must then firmly grasp the ball and quickly secure it before running with it. Timing, coordination, and communication between the quarterback and running back are crucial for a successful handoff.

If the quarterback pitches and the running back drops the ball who is charged with the fumble?
In American football, if the quarterback pitches the ball to the running back and the running back drops it, the running back is charged with the fumble. The quarterback's pitch is considered a forward pass, and the responsibility for securing the ball lies with the player receiving it. Therefore, the running back would be credited with the fumble in this situation.
If you have a pass and the receiver tosses the ball to a running back who gets the yardage?
In this scenario, the yardage is credited to the running back, as they are the player who receives the ball and advances it.
