In keeping with tradition, the football gods are shining down on Alabama again.
According to a report from Yahoo Sports' Rand Getlin, Oregon cornerback Ifo Ekpre-Olomu suffered a "serious knee injury" in practice on Tuesday, which the school fears it could be a torn ACL.
Comcast SportsNet's Aaron Fentress added that Ekpre-Olomu will miss the rest of the season.
Ekpre-Olomu is Oregon's best cover corner, and he was one of three finalists for this year's Jim Thorpe Award, given to the best defensive back in the nation. Not having Ekpre-Olomu available for the Ducks' College Football Playoff Semifinal against Florida State in the Rose Bowl is a huge blow to the defense.
And the injury goes beyond damaging Oregon's title hopes as well.
Ekpre-Olomu is projected to be a first or second round pick in the upcoming NFL Draft, and was the second-ranked cornerback prospect in the draft according to NFLDraftScout.com. A torn ACL would no doubt hurt his draft stock with the unknown timetable of his recovery.
The senior cornerback has 63 tackles, two interceptions, nine passes defended and a forced fumble for the Ducks in 2014.

And you might be saying, "But what about Florida State? Isn't this their luck?"
No. It's not Florida State's luck.
