I think it would help if the NCAA were to codify when the clock should stop and start on a situation like the one that happened in the Fiesta Bowl rather than leave it totally to the referee's discretion, therefore taking the mind reading aspect out of the equation.
Make a specific time in the game where fouls by the offense when they are leading result in a clock start at the snap. It is POSSIBLE that the guy who jumped legitimately missed the snap count - the QB wasn't going to start his cadence until late in the play clock anyway, so that's when a guy who missed the snap count would jump. Maybe he did it on purpose, maybe he didn't, but 'intentionally' is part of the rule. Take that out, and it cleans that situation up.
