I would love to hear the official explaination as to why R decided to start the clock on the snap. I agree with Fan10's summary and although I am NFHS only, my white hat is also a college white hat. I will try to copy the rule reference he sent me on this (he did not see the game, but looked at the game summary). Arkansas would have lost the opportunity to run off about 10 seconds had they started the 25 second clock on the ready instead of over 30 seconds not run off based on what R did.
Reminds me of a Fiesta Bowl game a few years ago when Ohio State was trying to run out the clock and committed a false start, and R started the clock on the ready (causing K-State almost 25 seconds), and I might have severly verbalized my disagreement with his rule interpretation at time.
