Utah defensive substitutions

[kired]

Anybody watching this? Utah practically walking dline subs on & off the field. One took a good 20 seconds and forced a USC timeout. What’s the rule on that? Seems like bs to allow it if it’s running the play clock under 5 seconds

If USC didn't like it they could have not substituted players. If the offense subs they have to allow the D. If not they could just go fast

Lincoln Riley wasted Caleb Williams.

They took advantage of the substitution rule to burn clock. Pretty smart.

Looked up the rule. It does say the defense has to “react promptly” and can be called for delay of game, or unsportsmanlike if they continue after being warned. The part I thought was BS is the guy doesn’t leave until the other one tags him out. Guess that’s considered reacting prompt enough
