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 are ll purpose yards?

In the NFL the stat of all purpose yards usually refers to the yards obtained during a game, season, or career by a running back or a receiver. The yards referred to are both gained by receiving and rushing. Normally a running back will have the most all purpose yards, because receivers do not usually run the ball as often as runners catch the ball. Due to the formations in the NFL this can be achieved.
