The offensive pace doesn't allow the Defense to sub out while the offense can still slip a few guys in and out

If a no huddle offense subs a player the referee stands over the ball so the defense can also.

So a timeout only gives one team a break?

No! Both teams receive a break, but defenses generally tire out much quicker than do offenses. So, my point is that, Oregon takes a huge risk when their offense goes on the field because their defense is tired, but the opposing offense can probably still go for more plays. Essentially, ideally, if you go three and out, at the pace Oregon snaps the ball, it should screw your defense over pretty hardcore, but the TV breaks allow Oregon's defense to recover (when the opposing offense wouldn't need to) due to television breaks.
