BS penalty. Int. grounding on Jameis.

Item 3. Stopping Clock. A player under center is permitted to stop the game clock legally to save time if, immediately upon receiving the snap, he begins a continuous throwing motion and throws the ball directly into the ground.

This describes when you can spike the ball and how. “is permitted to stop the game clock” but since the game clock wasn’t running its not permitted.

I hear what you are saying, but it doesn't say anything about a penalty for doing it when the clock isn't running. After each of the illegal plays, it describes what the penalty should be in any situation, nothing about spiking the ball when the clock isn't running. And as for wanting to stop the clock, I go back to my original argument....once the ball is snapped, the clock is running, not stopped.
