It's because the kicking team can't move the ball forward on an onside recovery I believe

It still doesn't seem to make sense.

In both situations, the ball is dead immediately upon being possessed, assuming the recovering team does so with a knee already on the ground.

But if that's the rule, then yea, great call by Clemson to take advantage of what I'd think is a strange rule.

A second should run off either way IMHO. It takes some time upon skin touching ball to have actual possession, even if your knee is on the ground. So a second minimum should run off either way
