I am a statistician for the high school football team and I always seem to have different stats for players than the local newspaper writers. Could anyone help me out with these questions?

1. When a running back rushes for a loss of two yards, should two yards be subtracted from his total?

2. If a quarterback is sacked for five yards, does five yards get subtracted from his?

3. How do penalties work with a players yardage? Let's say a running back gain's five yards and there was a 5-yard facemask call against the defender. Does the running back get credited with 10 yards rushing?

4. Is there a good website out there that explains the rules of stats?
