English term or phrase: Fourth-and-11
And by negative punt, we mean the ball rolled back a good 15 yards or so. UCLA was facing a fourth-and-11, and it was just a cruddy bounce.

چهارمین داون و ۱۱ یارد مانده
Explanation:
This is about American football. Each team has 4 attempts (called "downs") to move the ball at least 10 yards towards their goal. If they are successful they get another 4 downs. If not, the other team gets the ball.

In the description above, something happened and the ball had rolled backwards. The team was at the 4th down and still had 11 yards to cover to get another 1st down. It was not a good position for them.

Explanation:
در ورزش راگبی توپ در هر نقطه ای که بر زمین بیفتد، تیم حمله کننده باید در طی 4 فرصت حمله که اصطلاحا به آن ها(داون) گفته می شود، توپ را از 10 یاردی منطقه ای که توپ فرود آمده است رد کند وگرنه مالکیت توپ را از دست می دهد به این ترتیب در اینجا احتمالا منظور این است که در 4 حمله توپ 11 یارد جابجا شده است.
