Third and goal for A on B's 4 yard line with seconds left, tie game. A is out of time outs. A1 runs for a TD, but there is holding by A2 at the 4 yard line. There is :01 left. B accepts the penalty. Third and goal from the 14, when does the clock start?
because the down ended in the EZ , start the clock on the snap.

The clock is running A is out of time outs, A trails by 6. On third and goal A1 is downed at B's one yard line. The clock is running and A is in a no huddle offense. A2 snaps the ball with :03 left, but the referee hasn't declared the ball ready for play. What happens next?

My season is over and I'm in withdrawal!:-)
Blow it dead . Back it up 5 yards. Put the 3 seconds back on the clock just in case it was started. Blow the ready and start the clock

That's the “Book” answer. What should really happen is the Ump should be over the ball and not allow this to happen. I never leave the ball until after the ready and many times, especially at lower levels, not until the snapper approaches the ball
