Why do Quarterbacks say hikewhen the center snaps the ball to the Quarterback and start the play?
In the huddle, the quarterback calls the play and at what count the play will be started. This information is not known by the opposing team. Therefore when he breaks the huddle, he calls the play and says on three. The center then knows to snap the ball on hut-3 and the other players know when to start moving. If they move before the ball is snapped, they are penalized yardage for movement before the snap.

In college football does the clock stop by going out of bounds?
Short answer: Yes, but a 2008 rule change allows the clock to restart on a referee's signal. This from the NCAA rules: Ball Out Of Bounds (Rule 3-2-5-a-12). When a ball is carried or fumbled out of bounds, the game clock will stop, as always. Beginning in 2008 the game clock will start on the referee's signal when the ball is ready for play, not on the snap. In the last two minutes of the half, however, the clock will start on the snap as before, preserving the ability of the offensive team to maximize strategic use of the clock.
When does the clock start in the beginning of an NFL game?
Contrary to popular belief, the clock does not start when the ball is kicked-off. Rather, it starts when any player on the field touches it (after it was kicked). If the ball is kicked out of bounds (either across the sidelines or beyond the end zone), no time comes off the clock, because the clock does not start. In such a case, the clock would start when the first play is snapped fromscrimmage.
