They could have watched the play in real time and started it when the clemson player caught the ball and stopped it when it cleared the net. This seems like a good way to put the correct time on the clock when the clock was not started on time.
I didn't see the play or any video on it, but I *think* that the officials are allowed to ask the TV folks for timing information (e.g., between the time the ball is touched inbounds and the time the ball leaves the bottom of the net, how many "frames" are used and how much time does that equal).
