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?

Remember when you and your buddies played football as kids? If you were receiver you were always a step ahead. “I’ll run right then juke left when he least expects it. Now my friend D’ing me has to run even harder to catch up.” Likewise if you were D and your friend’s maneuvering quickly, you’re always playing catch-up since he’s changing directions without you knowing when. This is on top of you also looking at QB to anticipate their next move. Now apply this against a D1 athlete who can change direction while running 20mph but also try and predict who Tom Brady is about to drill a football to, all in a few seconds, then immediately line up and get ready to do it again.
