What is the rule on that? I know you can call a delay on the defense if they are not getting lined up, but does the defense have to hurry or can they take their time like they would if the offense wasn't in hurry up mode? Because with LSU hurrying to get lined up it makes the defense look slow regardless.
I am not saying we weren't deliberately slow, just wondering what the rule is and if the defense must hurry to get lined up?

never spelled out. judgment call. this is an example from the rulebook.
16 RULE 3 / PERIODS, TIME FACTORSAND SUBSTITUTIONS
V. Late in the fourth quarter Team A trails by four points and is driving
for a potential score. After a running play on which the ball carrier is
tackled inbounds, Team B players are obviously and deliberately slow
in letting him get to his feet or otherwise are employing tactics to delay
the officials in making the ball ready for play. RULING: Dead-ball
foul against Team B, delay of game. When the ball is ready for play, the
referee will signal the 25-second clock to start, and the game clock will
start on the snap.

Defense doesn't have to hurry to get lined up. They can sit down while the offense runs their play.
What they cannot do is lay on the ball to keep the ref from putting it in play while time is running out.
They should have been penalized five yards for that infraction.
