It would be easier to tell on YM or MSN but i'll go over the downs.

Okay mainly once you get possesion of the ball ( meaning being on offense) You have 4 downs ( tries ) to get the ball 10 yards, if you make it to 10 yards without going past 4 downs you start over at one.

Now if you don't make it 10 yards these scenario's can happen:

1) If your like 4th ( final try ) and 5 ( meaning you have to go 5 yards which isn't easy. ) usually you punt the ball, meaning letting the other team get it but in the back of the field.

2) If your trying to make the 4th down but if it fails ( meaning you don't get 1st down, the other team gets it where you last were. If you want more information email me.
