That doesn't really seem to make much sense. One would have to believe Sark told QE and company during the injury time out to run the play clock down so the game clock is ticking off and QE then went out there and just decided to snap it with 34 seconds on the play clock when he noticed the game clock wasn't running and neither QE nor any coaches said shit to the officials about the game clock not running. There just isn't a plausible scenario with Sark telling QE to run the play clock down before snapping it and QE says "fuck it, the game clock isn't running so I'm snapping it with 34 seconds on the play clock and Sark can kiss my ass."
The 40 second clock starts when the sack play is whistle blows. The play call came in and the OL has it at 20 seconds, gets set at 14 seconds and the snap is 12 seconds. It's not like the offense had the play, was lined up, and patiently let 25 seconds run off the clock before snapping it.
