If a defensive back blows a coverage, it could lead to a touchdown. But if an offensive lineman misses a pass-block, it could get his quarterback seriously injured.

That latter possibility is a reality that FIU guard Jordan Budwig lives with every game.

That’s perhaps a bit melodramatic. No quarterback that we know of has yet died from a sack … but you get the point.
