Next time you're watching a college game on TV, pay attention to how much time passes between the clock stopping on an OOB play or first down and how soon the game clock starts running again... (outside of 2 minutes in the half, of course)
In most cases, it's only about 5-7 seconds. If the R was waiting for the chains to set on a first down, it would probably take 15-20 seconds.
