In football, the clock is stopped when the player goes off bound or is tackled. In College Football, when a team earns a first down, the clock is stopped.
yes it is true that a referee must stop the clock by going out of bounds in the last 2 minutes of a football game. no-one knows why they were told to do this but now the rules have changed.
In 1987 the rules were amended as follows:In order to stop the clock, the quarterback is permitted to throw the ball out of bounds or to the ground as long as he throws it immediately after receiving the snap.
Only if he has the ball.AnswerYes. The clock always stops when the ball goes out of bounds. It doesn't matter how it got there. Wrong - Although I don't feel it is a good rule, in college football if a player steps out of bounds going backwards and does not display a foward advance while carrying the ball the clock keeps running.
No, that rule has been in college football for a long time but has never been adopted by the NFL.
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.
In all stages of football, the clock is stopped for incomplete passes.
Yes

No. Not in the NFL, only in college football
There is two definitions for spiking the football. 1. When a player makes a touchdown and throws the ball on the ground, it's a spike. 2. When a quarterback needs to stop the clock in a game, they throw the football on the ground to stop it, which is called spiking.

No, the vowel sound in "stop" is different from the vowel sound in "clock." The vowel sound in "stop" is pronounced as [ɑ] as in "ah," while the vowel sound in "clock" is pronounced as [ɒ] as in "cot."
