How Much Strain Does the HUNH Put on the Same Team's Defense?

Whenever I see the HUNH run correctly, I almost never see the offense stall. And as long as you keep the ball moving, you run some clock off the board. If you score, your defense also gets the benefit of the commercial break to get rested up.
So, does is HUNH tactic a detriment to the same team's defense?
By a lot of measures, the 2011 BCS NCG was a defensive slugfest. Yet both teams were HUNH.

I wish these HUNH threads would go away now that the rule was shot down

By running more plays, your exposing more series to your defense.
So instead of one or two possessions a quarter (sometimes three) your defense gets exposed to 3/4/5 and maybe even 6.

Yeah, but if your offense can't convert a third down, your defense is right back on the field as well...except, this time with a shorter field to defend.
As long as you move the ball, your defense gets to rest.

I've heard this mentioned a lot as how defenses aren't as rested because of the big play ability.
The only metric I could think of, off of my head, was scores per game (TD and FG) divided by time of possession per game. Obviously, this will be much lower with a bad offensive team so it's not perfect.

This is a legitimate question, IMO.
We need some of the more technically knowledgeable posters to chime in.

The bama-a&m game is a perfect example. Bama could have just played their normal slower paced offensive scheme and just as easily scored, but they started playing up tempo for most of the game. Both defenses were on the field more frequently leading to more points on both sides. Not sure what the injury report for the game was though.

Multiple casualties, just ask Bert.

Same with lsu-uga. At the end of the game lsu scored too quickly and sent out an already gassed defense. Georgia then went through them like a hot knife through butter.

Dis true.
Iron Bowl too. AU/UGA too.

There's less pressure on some defenses that know their offense can score at will.
The 2012 A&M first string defense, as the year progressed, wanted to get off the field quickly to see what Johnny was going to do next.

I can't think of a "wronger" place.

Not really. A&M's defense was so bad it just seemed like it.
For example:
First scoring drive (A&M was up 14-0)
Incomplete pass
13 yard pass
13 yard pass
15 yard rush
12 yards pass
22 yards pass for a TD
2nd scoring drive
Incomplete pass
Incomplete pass
21 yard pass
incomplete pass
15 yard pass
44 yard pass for a TD
Third scoring drive
2 yard rush
27 yard pass
incomplete pass
51 yard pass for a TD
etc.
The next two scoring drives were 10 or more plays and both chewed up over 5 minutes of clock.

Never thought about that. The Aggie defense was so bad it made every offense look like a HUNH.

I would take Houma over Beaumont. Beaumont is horrible. I don't even stop there for gas.
