[NU Sports] 10 second runoff

[Labbe John]

We thought the same thing after the grounding call.  Seemed the clock  
should have started on the ready for play either for your rationale  
(make it like a sack) or on the basis that the previous play had ended  
with a midfield tackle (after a penalty I thought you went back to the  
previous play to determine whether the clock starts on the ready for  
play).
