Bama and UGA could both have a top five offense (maybe not statistically) this year, and neither play pussy HUNH ball.
***** HUNH ball? Because they don't huddle they are less manly? You can hurry up no huddle and run 10 straight draw plays, the point is limiting defensive substitutions and exploiting the weakness on the field.
Offensive players typically move a bit better/more endurance so defenses get gassed. It's actually a really good strategy, air raid, pro style or whatever.
It has 0 effect on quality of defense. It hurts your def stats bc more possessions = more yards and maybe more points...

You should stick to basketball.
The issue is whether HUNH offenses affect the quality of their own teams defense.

Ah no. Defensive players are reacting unlike the offensive players that carrying out their play. Defensive players are always playing catch up regardless of the situation. Defensive players are actually better conditioned because of this fact. Look at the lines. DL are typically leaner and faster than OL regardless of conference or playing style. This is also why lean fast DLineman that can also get off a block and stop the run make crazy bank in the NFL.

One flaw in the logic.
If your offense isn't scoring, then even a 3-out - which can give a few minutes rest - ends up being a much shorter duration.
If that other team's offense just got done plowing down the field, even for a FG, and then the HUNH team's defense is back out there, even more exhausted.
It's a double edged sword because your own D is out there longer.
Most teams can't match Alabama/Florida/Georgia's depth on D, so they basically say, "If I can't substitute because my back-ups are sub-par, then you can't either!"
