It's usually a question of whether his forward progress was stopped inbounds or not.
Oftentimes on these plays, the defender causes the ball carrier to go backwards a little as they go out of bounds. The forward progress of the ball carrier was stopped inbounds. Therefore, the clock continues to run.
If the defender pushes the ball carrier out of bounds, but he continues to move forward as he goes out of bounds, the clock will stop.
