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?

One thing I don’t see people mentioning is that defensive players sub out less than offensive players. Oline and QB don’t really sub out, but all the other offensive positions will take plays off. Only guys who regularly rotate out on defense is Dline. Outside of switching to different packages your LBs and DBs will be out there for an entire drive running all over the field.
And the offense controls the ability to make substitutions.
