Clemson's Ray-Ray McCloud eviscerates NC State punt coverage on TD return

Wide receiver Ray-Ray McCloud for Clemson isn’t the best-known receiver in college football, but he’s one of the best returners in college football.

With No. 4 Clemson on the road at No. 20 NC State — and trailing 7-0 — McCloud set up for a punt return to try to give the Tigers a strong field position.

He wound up weaving through NC State’s entire punt team for a 77-yard touchdown with enough jukes to make his teammates blush.

By the most conservative of estimates, McCloud avoids six tackles on this run. Twice on the return McCloud uses a cutback so vicious it causes Wolfpack players to collide with each other.

This is just plain rude. And we fully support it.
