Charles Nelson Takes Flight for Insane Long-Bomb Touchdown, Ducks Win 48-28

It's a good day to be a Duck.

It must be great to be an Oregon fan. You're frequently a contender for the BCS Championships; you're almost never unranked (almost); you've got a pretty objectively lame mascot that has somehow been converted into something pretty cool; and you've got just about an endless supply of jerseys to choose from.

Oh, and you just stepped on the necks of another Pac 12 team one spot above you in the rankings, with a shot to win the division. And that team happens to be the most annoying team in the history of college football:USC.

To top the whole thing off, you've got a guy named Charles Nelson on your team. And he's pretty good. Just take a look at the above clip. The man lifts up to catch a long bomb, twists to avoid contact from the defender and lands for an acrobatic touchdown. And the whole thing happened just moments after a pretty solid sack, fumble and turnover by your defence.

The Ducks have come into a game that people predicted would at least be a close one, and kind of kicked the teeth into the Trojans. And thank god. It was enough to silence the USC fight song, which acts as a cheese grater to the ear drums.
