So watching college football today the announcers always make a statement like “That drive took 10 minutes so the defense got a good rest”. How is that rest only beneficial to the defense and not for the opposing offense?

Easy, because they have nothing to talk about and have to fill hours of dead air with minutes of real content, that is 100% repetitive. Nothing they say actually even has to make much sense, its just words. Best thing you can do is mute them, second best thing is find something interactive to do with your time.
