Yes, a quarterback can run the ball during a football game.
When the offensive team breaks the huddle and comes up to the line of scrimmage to start the play, the first offensive player to touch the ball is the center. The center snaps the ball to the quarterback and the quarterback will either hand the ball to a running back, throw the ball to a receiver, or run the ball himself.
The quarterback is the root to an offense in football. He takes the ball from a center, who hikes the ball to him, and does whatever the play is. He can throw it, run it, hand it off, whatever he wants to do.
there is a quarterback on the offensive team because he throws or hands it off to a player or he's able to run the ball. the defensive team doesn't have a quarterback becausethey don't have the ball then
a wide receiver or a running back
the quarterback leads the team on offense in football. He tells the team what the play is and also tells them how to run the play. The quarterback gets the ball form the center at the beginning of each play. Once he gets the ball he has the right to hand it off to a running back, pass down the field, run with the ball or do any combinations of those actions. The quarterback is the most important player on offense.
A few of the positions pass the ball but the biggest would be the quarterback. The quarterback passes the ball to a linemen, and is the first throw of the game!
He can do either. He can run with the ball, hand it off, or (as long as he's behind the line of scrimmage) pass it.

A Hike or Snap Is when the center hands the ball to the quarterback.
The transfer of the ball from the center to the quarterback is called a 'snap'.
Yes, because the play starts as soon as the ball is snapped.
