The clock starts on the RFP. The previous play, the third down play, ended with the ball dead inbounds and thus the clock was stopped for an official's timeout to administer the penalty.
3-4-2 The clock shall start with the ready-for-play signal on a down beginning with a snap if the clock was stopped for any reason other than specified in Rule 3-4-3 or an untimed down:
a. For an official’s time-out, other than when B is awarded a new series or either team is awarded a new series following a legal kick.
b. Because the ball has become dead following any foul provided:
1. There has been no charged time-out during the dead-ball interval.
2. The down is not an extension of a period or a try.
3. The action which caused the down to end did not also cause the clock to be stopped.
c. Because of an inadvertent whistle.
