Statistics in play resulting in turnover in American football

A play during the New Mexico Bowl has led me to wonder: are offensive statistics counted during plays that ultimately result in turnovers? In this play, a tailback fumbled after crossing the first-down line, and the defense recovered. Does the offense get credit for gaining a first down? Nyttend (talk) 00:28, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

No. See [1], page 16, Article 4. -- Mwalcoff (talk) 05:46, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

Thanks; I had no idea where to find such a resource. I also had other questions, but this answers them. Nyttend (talk) 14:33, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

According to her "gigography" (a neologism for a list of performances, it appears) listed at www.songkick.com, it doesn't seem like she ever played in Boulder. However, I'm not certain how comprehensive that website is. — Michael J 23:14, 24 December 2009 (UTC)

HBO outside the US

Is it all possible to subscribe to HBO from outside the United States, e.g. from Germany? --195.14.197.207 (talk) 22:42, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

The article HBO lists several links to websites for HBO International in various countries of the world. --Jayron32 00:55, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
