Why does a runner get credit for yardage when there is an offensive holding call on the OL? Happened yesterday with Alexander in the 4th quarter. Looks like he got the yardage up to the spot of the foul. Any officials out there? Okay, that's the last time I'm going to think about football today....................until the Bears/Packers game comes on.

I believe if the hold happens beyond the line of scrimmage - the ten yards is marked back from the spot of the hold. Same if a blocker holds after a reception 25 yards downfield after the catch.

Yeah, I think the question at hand here though is how are the stats recorded for the RB.
