Rule 4, Section 3, Article 2

(f) If the game clock is stopped after a down in which there was a foul by either team, following enforcement or declination of a penalty, the game clock will start as if the foul had not occurred, except that the clock will start on the snap if:

(1) the foul occurs after the two-minute warning of the first half,
(2) the foul occurs inside the last five minutes of the second half, or
(3) a specific rule prescribes otherwise

As for the proposed question, I thought I've read a ruling that says the clock would start on the ready but I can't find it.
