15 yards
The penalty spot is 12 yards from the goal line.
10 yards for offensive holding, 5 yards and an automatic first down for defensive holding.
It was always a 10 Yard penalty Wrong. It was a 15 yard penalty till 1974 in the pros, and sometime later in college.
If an offensive holding penalty is called on a rushing play and the defensive team accepts the penalty, there is no play recorded as the down will be played over. Therefore, the ball carrier will no be credited with a rushing attempt nor any rushing yards.
In the NFL, the penalty is 15 yards. In college, the penalty is 10 yards.
10 yards from the spot of the foul. So if the hold occurred 5 yards behind the line of scrimmage, then the penalty would be a 15 yard penalty from the previous line of scrimmage. The down would be replayed.
It depends on the offensive penalty. If it's something like a holding the ball will go to the defense and the yards on the block in the back will back the defense up.
15 yards and an automatic first down.
