Play clock A play clock , also called a delay - of - game timer , is a timer designed to increase the pace – and subsequently , the scoring – in American football and Canadian football , similar to what a shot clock does in basketball . The offensive team must put the ball in play by either snapping the ball before during a scrimmage down or kicking the ball during a free kick down before the time expires , or else they will be assessed a 5 - yard " delay of game " ( American football ) or " time count " ( Canadian football ; that code ' s " delay of game " is a different infraction ) penalty . If a visible clock is not available or not functioning , game officials on the field will use a stopwatch or other similar device to enforce the rule . In Canadian football , the offensive team must run a play within 20 seconds of the referee whistling the play in ; in amateur American football , teams have 25 seconds from the time the ball is declared ready for play . In the NFL teams have 40 seconds timed from the end of the previous down , or 25 seconds after the ball is declared ready for play after certain administrative stoppages and game delays . Before 2008 , in college football , the play clock was 25 seconds after the ball was set , but the clock was not stopped for the ball to be set unless the previous play resulted in a stoppage of the clock . Now , the same intervals as the NFL are used , with minor differences for the final two minutes of each half . Various professional leagues have used their own standards ; the XFL , for instance , used a 35 - second play clock to encourage faster play . Also in the Canadian Football League , a " time count " is enforced differently at certain points of the game . If the time count occurs before the three - minute mark of a half , the penalty is five yards and the down is repeated . In the final three minutes , the penalty is a loss of down on first and second down or 10 yards , with the down repeated , on third down . If the referee deems a time count committed on third down in the last three minutes of a half to be deliberate , he also has the right to require the offensive team to put the ball in play legally within 20 seconds or else forfeit possession . ( Time counts during convert attempts , during which the ball is live but the clock does not run , are 5 - yard penalties with the down repeated at all times in the game . ) In the strategy of clock management , a team can slow the pace of a game by taking the maximum amount of time allotted between plays . A team wishing to do so would wait to snap the ball until there is one second left on the play clock . In many football games , the play clock is managed by the back judge who is positioned behind the defense and faces the quarterback . When the play clock counts down to 5 seconds remaining , some back judges will raise their arm over their head to warn the quarterback , and rotate their arm downward to their leg , counting down the final seconds . A penalty flag for delay is thrown afterward . The infraction typically results in a five - yard penalty . References . Notes
