When does the clock start? (NF)

The NCAA rule is different. There you will start on the snap if you stop the clock for an apparent new series for B even if a penalty during the down eventually negates the new series.

Bob, I don't believe that is correct. (And if it is, I have a bad habit to unlearn!)

4th and 1, defense stops the offense, but facemasks. Apparent new series for B, but as it turns out, just a 1st down for A after the penalty is walked off. Clock starts on the RFP, not the snap, even though you had an "apparent" new series for B.
