Ususally On a change of posession play, B or K is in posession when the down ends. However on this play, there were two changes of posession, B's interception and A's recovery of the fumble, but there was not a legal kick nor was B awarded a new series, so by rule the clock starts on the ready. It is not a change of posession that causes the clock to start on the snap - it is because there was a legal kick or B in posession when the down ends.

But what would you do if when A got the ball back was tackled OOB, ran OOB, or recovered the fumble in their EZ for a touchback? When does the clock start for these?
I would say that they all start on the snap as the action that ended the previous play also stopped the clock.

By rule, on the snap for all these situations.
