Can anyone explain to me what this means 45 tackles, including seven tackles for losses and three sacks.?

Question

Also what does it mean when your named an all-american in college football?

Oh and is the tackles and all the other things good, and the All-American does it mean the best throughout all the colleges?

Answer 1

It means that a player has tackled 45 people carrying or holding the ball throughout the season. Out of those 45 tackles, 7 of them resulted in negative yardage. An example of this is if im on the 10 yard line and i get tackled back to the 15 yard line. That would be a tackle for a loss of 5 yards.And 3 of those tackles were sacks, which means the person tackled the quarterback before the quarterback ran with or threw the ball.AN All-American in college football means that that player who recieved the all-american honor is one of the best players in that sport/

Answer 2

In all a team or player had 45 tackles (bringing down whoever has the ball) 7 for loss (bringing down whoever has the ball behind the line of scrimmage) and 3 sacks (tackling the quarterback before he gets rid of the ball) And an all american is the best at a certain postion in his conference or all of college football. These players are usually picked by media members and coaches. Hope this helps

Answer 3

It means the player had 45 tackles.It means 7 of his 45 tackles made the other tem lose yards,such as a linebacker breaks through the line and tackles to halfback 2 yards behined the line.And the Sacks means 3 of the 45 tackles were sacks.So he overall had 45 tackles.35 tackles were regular tackles 3 of them were sacks and 7 were for a loss.

Answer 4

it means that he made 45 solo tackles, of those 45 he tackled the runningback behind the line of scrimmage 7 times, and he tackled the qb 3 times behind the line of scrimmage, being an all american in college is the same as being named to the pro bowl
