Utah's Kaelin Clay apologizes for bonehead fumble
Russ Isabella-USA TODAY Sports
Kaelin Clay was that guy on Saturday.
Of course Oregon stomped Utah 51-27, but that wasn't the story. The Utes wide receiver was torched by fans after celebrating too soon, dropping the ball on a guaranteed touchdown just prior to crossing the goal line.
The Ducks' Joe Walker picked it up and ran back 100 yards with a fleet of blockers with him, resulting in a 14-point swing.
So on Sunday, Clay went on Twitter and took responsibility for his squad's loss:
I TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS GAME BY MY SELFISH ACTIONS...I'll take this one
