This is a bit of a tricky question. In high school and some situations in college, the play clock doesn't start until the referee gives the 'ready for play' whistle. From here, both levels have 25 seconds. For the 'running clock after a regular play situation', the NFL and NCAA have 40 second play clocks.

What is a direct snap offense?

A direct snap offense refers to an offense where the ball is snapped directly to a tailback or fullback. a good example of this would be the modern Wildcat offense, in which a tailback lines up behind the center, four or five yards back like a quarterback would in a shotgun set.


In football if the offense has the ball on fourth down and fumbles then the defense fumbles in the exact same place where they picked up the ball and the offense gets it back whose ball is it?

As long as there was a clear change of possession to the defense before they fumbled the ball back to the offense, then the offense would keep the ball and get a new set of downs. If the defense fumbled the ball back to the offense without ever establishing possession, then the ball would go over to the defense on downs. The only way the offense could retain possession in this case is if the ball ended up beyond the first-down marker when the offense finally recovered.

How do you mess up a snap count in football?

I assume you are asking how the offense can mess up the snap, most often resulting in a false start. There are several methods teams use for snapping the ball, a few examples are: the quarterback calling a cadence to the center when he is ready for the ball, a silent count which where either the center will turn his head to the side indicating he is about to snap the ball or if the quarterback is in the shotgun the QB may begin by lifting his leg (if there is a player to be set into motion) then putting his hands up. Many teams use different styles of snap counts but most all false starts are caused by a single error. Nervous lineman. The defenders are allowed to rush the line of scrimmage as long as they are doing what is considered a "football move". Often the linemen will get jumpy and this can cause a false start. A loud stadium can also add up to a quick 5 yards for the defense. If the front line cannot hear the cadence from the quarterback they may end up jumping to soon. One final instance that I can think of is when the team is employing a "hard count". The hard count is sometimes used on 4th down with less than five yards to the 1st down. The quarterback will use a series of irregular, off tempo cadences in an attempt to draw the defense offsides and achieve a first down. However, if the offense is not careful, they may fall for their own trickery.

What is a down and in football?

The team that takes possession of the ball (the offense) has four attempts, called downs, to advance the ball 10 yards towards their opponent's (the defense's) end zone. When the offense gains 10 yards, it gets a first down, or another set of four downs to gain 10 yards. If the offense fails to gain a first down (10 yards) after 4 downs, it loses possession of the ball. Click on the web link at the bottom of the page for more information.
