STATS who gets credit for the yardage

[STANG RED]

If a QB runs for say 10 yards, then pitches to the RB, who then runs for another 20, does the QB get credited for his 10 in the stats, or does the RB get credit for all 30?
I'm not asking for oppinions, I really want to know for sure.
I think the RB gets credit for the entire 30. Doesnt he?
I dont think the stat keepers get technical enough to credit both players. Do they? I dont know. Does anyone out there know for sure?

I played alot of football and watched alot of football, but this just never occured to me before.

So, nobody knows? Surely somebody on here has to know this.

I know the QB gets credit for the carry. Yardage don't know.

i always thought the RB would get the whole 30 yards

On an option, the yards go to who ever touches the ball last! Take for instance, last night had reggie successfully completed that pitch, all of those yards would have went to the person who caught the ball when he pitched it!

Not true. Last night when Young pitched to Selvin for his TD, Selvin got credit for the TD but no carry.
