Can Texas A&M football throw the ball with reduced WR corps?

Cyrus Allen and Moose Muhammad have departed Texas A&M football— one for the portal, and one for the NFL. Of course, Allen was injured late in the year, so his absence was expected, but Moose's departure was— as with so many aspects of his time in College Station— a little murkier.

Reed will be working with less depth at receiver, in any case. Staying healthy in the game is now imperative, as you'll have to turn to much less experienced players if something unfortunate happens.

I'd love to see some of the freshman get incorporated in this one— particularly Ashton Bethel-Roman— but you don't want the coaches' hands to be forced in that instance. The Ags have more than enough skill to get the job done, but they'll have to be intentional here.
