When a penalty is declined in a football game, it means that the team that was penalized chooses not to accept the penalty. This usually happens when the result of the play is more favorable to the penalized team than the yardage or loss of down that would result from accepting the penalty.
Penalties are declined in football when the team that committed the penalty would benefit more from the result of the play than from the penalty yardage. This allows the team to keep the positive outcome of the play without being penalized.
A penalty is declined in football when the team that committed the penalty would benefit more from the result of the play than from the penalty yardage.
A team may choose to decline a penalty in football if the penalty would give them a disadvantage or if the result of the play is more favorable than the penalty yardage.
In football, when a penalty is declined, it means that the team that committed the penalty chooses not to accept the penalty and instead allows the result of the play to stand. This is significant because it can indicate that the result of the play was more favorable for the team than the penalty yardage would have been.
No. Not in the NFL, only in college football
Half the distance is used when a penalty has occured and the yardage that is penalized is longer than half the distance to the goal. Example: a team is on their own 10 yard line and they have a 10 yard holding penalty. 10 yards would put them in their own endzone, but they would penalize half the distance and they would start the next drive on their own 5 yard line.
You cannot decline the penalty, since it is happening prior to the snap, you can, however, decline the YARDAGE of the penalty.
yardage markers
If the penalty is assessed against the defense, the ball will be moved that number of yards toward the goal, or half the distance to the goal, whichever is less. the same applies in the opposite direction, except that it's highly unlikely that half the distance to the goal behind you will ever be less than the penalty yardage unless there are a lot of consecutive penalties on first down or the QB is an idiot and runs the wrong way before getting penalized. In any case, a dead-ball foul will cause first-down to be replayed with the modified yardage to go (usually 5 or 15, but depends on the penalty assessed).
45 yards...there's no penalty for a missed pass.
You need to be more specific. Total yardage in a single game? Total yardage in a season? Total yardage in a college career? And is it rushing yardage, passing yardage, kickoff yardage, puntyardage, kickoff-return yardage, punt-return yardage, total return yardage, or total yardage. If it's passing yardage, do you mean as a receiver or as a passer?Of course, I don't know the answer either way, and really, who cares? It's Division II. It could be a million yards, but whoever holds the record can't hold a candle to the average division I-A player. If they could, they would have played in Division I-A, or at least I-B.But if you want anyone to answer this question, you're going to have to be more precise in how you ask it.
