I went back to replay the opening of the game and confirmed what I thought had happened. We had to burn an immediate timeout because the 40 second play clock started immediately after we fair caught the opening kick.

I don't know that it had any outcome on the game (although we only had use of 2 timeouts all first half) but it got me to thinking about how many times it seems like teams quickly run out of time while other times it takes forever to get play restarted.

Who has ultimate responsibility of the play clock?

Is a play clock error a reviewable play? If so, who calls for it?
