Vine: The most embarrassing touchdown you’ll see this side of Neptune

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. Check out the clip below to see just how close Clay came to scoring for his team. Here's another angle that might show the debacle a bit clearer.
