Corrected entry: In this scene a penalty is called on a run that followed a timeout. The announcer says the clock will start as soon as the ball is set. This is factually incorrect as the clock would not start until the ball is snapped. (01:43:45)

Correction: The penalty referred to was holding on the offense. The clock is only stopped for defensive penalties. The clock is restarted as soon as it is spotted for offensive penalties. This is to prevent teams on offense from intentionally committing penalties in order to stop the clock.
