I thought that the play-clock should have been set to 25 seconds and the clock started on the referees signal. The only adjustment from a normal down is that the offense doesn't get the entire 40 seconds. If it had been a defensive player the play clock would be set at 40 and the game clock would start on the referee's signal. There are situations in which the referee could hold the game clock until the snap but this shouldn't have been one of them.
