The Longhorns punted the ball from the 5-yard line. The punt was caught at the 41-yard line and returned to the 19-yard line. The ball did not cross the 50-yard line. What was the net yardage on the play?
starting from the line of scrimmage, we have
(41-5) - (41-19)
= 19-5
= 14 yards
Thank you for the help :)
To determine the net yardage on the play, we need to calculate the difference between the starting point and where the ball ended up.
Starting yard line: 5-yard line
Ending yard line: 19-yard line
To find the net yardage, we subtract the starting yard line from the ending yard line:
19 - 5 = 14
Therefore, the net yardage on the play is 14 yards.
