Taiwanese Animators create delightful animated clip of Kaelin Clay fumble

The University of Utah has a long history of premature celebrations, but none of them have then been animated to show players drinking Champagne on the field, dancing with bikini-clad ladies and riding horse-sized ducks.

But thanks to Taiwanese Animators, the geniuses behind absurd CGI renditions of national news stories, we now have this important piece of Utah history immortalized for future generations. 

As I'm sure you're aware, Utah squared off with Pac-12 rival Oregon on Saturday and jumped out to an early 7-0 lead—and then to a brief 13-0 lead, before officials realized that Kaelin Clay had celebrated his 78-yard pass reception by fumbling the ball at the 1-yard line, a move that resulted in Oregon linebacker Joe Walker running it back for a 100-yard touchdown while fans celebrated and Clay danced in the endzone. 

Some argue this play was the momentum changer that led to Utah losing 51-27. 

Though it's painful to relive, at least the below clip shows Clay igniting the competition with his flammable urine.
