Clemson's Ray Ray McCloud thought he had scored on a 75-yard punt return late in the second quarter vs. Troy on Saturday, but forgot to take something important with him into the end zone.

The ball.

McCloud dropped the ball in celebration before crossing the goal line, nullifying the touchdown. The play was originally ruled a score, but was overturned upon review and ruled a touchback.

Here's video, via Sporting News' Travis Durkee:

Due to McCloud's mistake, Clemson led just 13-10 at halftime, rather than 20-10.
