If the clock isn't running, then therefore the player is not legally stopping the clock to save time; e.g. intentional grounding is the correct call.

As soon as the ball was snapped the clock started running.
Nowhere does it say "clock must be running BEFORE the snap."
Again, I will say READ THE RULES.
What defines a spike? Stipulation met.
What defense intentional grounding? Stipulations avoided.
There's no other section of rules to consider except fantasy fat ref land rules.
