What's the rule about sending out a defensive sub after the offense subs? Penn State is intentionally sending players in and off the field slow as the play clock ticks down. Nebraska just had to call a time out because of this.

If that's allowed it's pretty chicken shit.

I think if the O subs the D gets a chance to sub... thats all I know.. if the O subs late which Corn has been doing ... then its a bit of gamesmanship

I know they're allowed to also make a sub...I'm just wondering if there are rules around it. Penn St is subbing out the farthest player from their bench. The sub takes his sweet ass time getting to the guy coming out, who then takes even longer lolly gagging back to the sideline.

So there is a key word in the rule where the defense has to promptly make subs, otherwise the defense gets a delay of game penalty. If they get two of those penalties, then it becomes an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.

Edit: actual rule, Team A is offense, Team B is defense:

When Team A sends in its substitutes, the officials will not allow the ball to be snapped until Team B has been given an opportunity to substitute. While in the process of substitution or simulated substitution, Team A is prohibited from rushing quickly to the line of scrimmage with the obvious attempt of creating a defensive disadvantage. If the ball is ready for play, the game officials will not permit the ball to be snapped until Team B has placed substitutes in position and replaced players have left the field of play. Team B must react promptly with its substitutes.

PENALTY—(First Offense)—Dead-ball foul. Delay of game on Team B for not completing its substitutions promptly, or delay of game on Team A for causing the play clock to expire. Five yards from the succeeding spot [S21]. The referee will then notify the head coach that any further use of this tactic will result in an unsportsmanlike conduct foul.

PENALTY—(Second or more offense)—Dead-ball foul, team unsportsmanlike conduct. An official will sound his whistle immediately. 15 yards from the succeeding spot [S27].
