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 is a down in American football?
Its one of the four chances that a team gets to move the ball. Theres 1st down and 10 yards. If they get positive yardage on that play, say 6 yards, its now 2nd and 4. If they get 3 yards on second down, its now 3rd and 1. Now they need 1 yard for a fresh set of downs (A whole new set of four). A First Down is whenever a team gets enough yards to pass the yardmarker (usually 10, unless there is a penalty or a negative play).
How much yardage is credited on a rushing play when a holding penalty is called from the spot of the penalty?
If an offensive holding penalty is called on a rushing play and the defensive team accepts the penalty, there is no play recorded as the down will be played over. Therefore, the ball carrier will no be credited with a rushing attempt nor any rushing yards.

Do plays count if there are penalties on them?
That would depend on the penalty and how it is accessed. Example 1: A running back gains 10 yards on a play. A penalty is called for offensive holding and is accepted by the defensive team. The penalty is assessed from the original line of scrimmage. The play 'does not count' and the running back is not credited with 10 yards towards his rushing yardage total. Example 2: A running back gains 10 yards on a play. A penalty is called for defensive grabbing the face mask and is accepted by the offensive team. The penalty is assessed from where the play ended. The play 'does count' and the running back is credited with 10 yards towards his rushing yardage total. Example 3: A running back loses 3 yards on a play. A penalty is called for defensive offsides and is accepted by the offensive team. The penalty is accessed from the original line of scrimmage. The play 'does not count' and the running back is not credited with -3 yards towards his rushing total. One general rule to determine whether the play 'counts' on a penalty is to determine from where the penalty yardage is accessed. If it is accessed from the line of scrimmage that the play started, the play does not count. If the penalty yardage is accessed from where the played ended, the play does count.
