Found an instance of "clock defense" as a USAn football term, but
if you're talking of a USAn term, it doesn't make sense for the
spelling to be "defence" and not "defense."

If you're using the clock defense stupidly, I'd imagine that
someone might call your plan a "dumb clock defense."

In what context is the term used?
