The clock stops after a first down when the covering official signals, it it started again by the referee when he sees the box (the thing with the number of the down on it that marks the spot of the ball) is set and his crew is set.
I didn't see what the fuss was about - the box was set, the R wound the clock and off they went. The only thing that was screwy was someone kicked the ball and the U had to reset it.
The color guy realized that the clock was running and flipped out. He got ridiculous when he said they lost 10 or 11 seconds. The previous play started with 1:00 left and they had a long pass completed, they stopped it at around :51, set the ball and the box, everyone was set and the R would it and K State snapped it at about :47. That guy thought maybe they should have gone on the snap and not the ready for play.
Gee, an announcer who doesn't know the rules - there's a shocker.
