BEAREF, 3-4-6 in short say that if a team is trying to consume (as in this play) or conserve time illegally, the referee can start the clock on the ready for play, or the snap so they cannot get the time advantage they are trying to.

And many of us (self included) would not start the clock after the FIRST off-sides, especially if they ran the clock down beforehand. I have done exactly that more than once. Not sure why one poster felt he had to wait for the third time to invoke this rule.
