What's with offenses stopping to look over at the bench?

They are looking to the sidelines for plays and audibles. With the "high speed" offense, teams rush to the line of scrimmage and see how the defense lines up against the formations. The players then look to the sideline for calls and adjustments.

Thanks. I've never seen teams do that before until I saw Utah doing it.

It is also a way to get plays called from the line of scrimmage and to stop the d from changing out players. Teams have been doing it for years

This guy is full of it. You haven't heard of UNL's new cheerleader? She's so hot, Bo was totally cool with the offense taking a break from the game to check her out....
