Box Score Analysis

Quick question.............

Did the box score record our first offensive play as a penalty, pass, or run?

I checked and it said "penalty". Just want to make sure I don't need glasses........

Thanks in advance.

Based on ESPN's Play by Play:
1st and 10 at UGA 20 GEORGIA penalty 5 yard False Start on David Andrews accepted.

The next actual play which I would consider the first play:
1st and 15 at UGA 15 Aaron Murray pass complete to Todd Gurley for 1 yard to the Geo 16.

So I would say the first play was a pass. I say this because a false start penalty occurs before a play is executed though granted the play that was called during the false start might well have been a different call than was run after the false start penalty was enforced.
