A linebacker could only dream of the opportunity that Utah’s Devin Lloyd got last Friday in Los Angeles.
Lloyd broke free on a blitz, with USC quarterback Matt Fink frozen in front of him, seven yards behind the line of scrimmage on a play that started at the Utah 31. Untouched by blockers, Lloyd grabbed Fink around the shoulders.
In that moment, what were the odds of Fink's throwing a touchdown pass? One in 1,000, maybe?
Somehow, it happened. Fink ducked, shrugged and shook off Lloyd, then retreated and moved to his right as other Ute defenders pursued him.
