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?

The defense has to put in full effort on every play. You don’t know where the play is going so each defender has to do their best in case they are the key to stopping the play. Once you get tired in the defense, the consequences are quite high.
On the offence only a couple of players need to put in full effort for each play. They know if there is a possibility they are getting a ball and can act accordingly.
Linemen of course are always working hard but so is the opposing line so it kinda cancels out.
