In College Football, if a ball carrier gains a first down without running out of bounds, then the clock will start immediately. Running plays are often executed when a particular team wants to run down the clock if they are ahead.
On a running play resulting in a first down, the clock is stopped in NCAA football.
The clock is restarted after the following occurs:
-
Referee spots the ball.
-
10 yard chains are re-spotted
-
Referee blows the whistle to indicate ready for play.
After any penelty, offensive or deffensive, it depends.
If the clock would have naturally stopped, it stays stopped.
Otherwise, the clock starts upon the placement of the ball.

What is the difference between offsides and false start?
Offsides is if the defensive player jumps across the line of scrimmage while the ball is snapped. False start is when an offensive lineman jumps or moves his hand after he gets set. Offsides = Defense False Start = Offense
If a player intercepts a ball and is tackled as time runs out but there is a defensive penalty on the play what happens?
The penalty is enforced and time is restored to when the penalty took place. Since the game can't end on a defensive penalty, the offense (the intercepting team) would be given one untimed down.
Can an NFL game end while ball is in play?
No. As long as you snap the ball while there is still time on the clock, the game can't end until the play is over. If you snap it with 1 second to go and throw an incompletion but there is a penalty on the defense, you get another play. (The game can not end on a defensive penalty)
Can you take the penalty after the touchdown on the PAT or is it automatically on the kick off?
I'm not totally positive about this but I believe that if the penalty is on the offense, the penalty is enforced on the PAT. But if its a defensive penalty then the penalty is enforced on the kick off. Hopefully that answered your question for you- Mike
Is it a penalty for a defensive player to listen in on the offenses huddle by crossing the line of scrimmage?

Yes, defensive holding can be called when one of the defenders - usually a defensive back - holds onto a receiver and prevents him from running his route. Think of it as a minor pass interference. Defensive holding is a 10 yard penalty.
