This is why you should never, ever showboat.
You’ll have to go a long way to find a crazier touchdown this college football season than Oregon’s first score last night against Utah.
Utes wide receiver Kaelin Clay seemed to have scored an amazing 78-yard touchdown and he celebrated accordingly, but the refs never acknowledged the score. On closer inspection, it was clear that he dropped the pigskin just a yard from the end-zone.
Oregon linebacker Joe Walker capitalised on the showboating receiver’s mistake to run the ball back the length of the field for a touchdown that even had the commentary team momentarily stumped.
