They could have watched the play in real time and started it when the clemson player caught the ball and stopped it when it cleared the net. This seems like a good way to put the correct time on the clock when the clock was not started on time.

I do not see a stop clock as apart of the rules application. Remember SportsCenter can do that with their graphics on the screen. It is not like the officials get that kind of look. Maybe that might be apart of something in the future, but right now that is not a standardize situation.
