Devon Allen heard three words no athlete ever wants to hear: season-ending injury.
The Oregon receiver is out for the year after hurting his left leg on a non-contact play against Nebraska on Saturday, according to 247Sports.com.
Allen went to the ground on punt coverage in the fourth quarter, rolling over on the turf while grabbing his knee.
