Utah's Kaelin Clay drops ball before TD, Oregon returns it for 100-plus yard TD

This is an all-time great screw-up.

It looked like Utah had taken a 14-0 lead. Kaelin Clay had beaten everybody on the Oregon defense and sprinted into the end zone for a 78-yard TD. But the refs didn't signal touchdown... and Oregon somehow was running the other way... and the refs signalled an Oregon touchdown. What happened?

Yes, it was the DeSean Jackson. Clay pretty clearly dropped the ball right before entering the end zone. The ball sat there for a few seconds as Oregon realized the ball actually hadn't been a TD. After some scuffling in the end zone and another fumble Oregon's Joe Walker ran back with a convoy for a 99 yard touchdown for Oregon.

It led to one hell of a play description:

The momentum swing is absolutely massive: the Utes had an opportunity to be up 14 on the No. 5 team in the country. Instead, it's a tie game. That's a 14-point, 178-yard swing, and an error that will go down in the history books as one of the silliest blunders ever.
