REPLY: When a foul occurs during a down, the clock is stopped when the down ends. The reason is for an officials time out to administer the penalty. See 3-5-7j. Then look at 3-4-2a. It clearly says that following an official's timeout, the clock starts on the ready unless B is awarded a new series (they weren't) or a new series is awarded to either team following a legal kick.
