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.
