I just think it might be better to revisit the incomplete pass and out of bounds stopping the clock and keeping it stopped until the snap. Why not make it like a first down: stop the clock, then wind it on RFP? At least on OOB, keeping the spike rule in place.

The Penn St. game last year is one reason why starting the clock on the kick had to be changed. NFL timing rules are great, starts on RFP after going OOB's, keeps going on 1st downs, starts on RFP after a penalty,... and they slow it down the last 2 minutes of the 1st half and 4 minutes of the game.
