Texas A&M fans have been white-knuckling the past few weeks without star running back Le'Veon Moss in the lineup as he recovers from an injury sustained against Florida. The run game for the Aggies has excelled at times since then, especially against Missouri, but you could feel his absence against teams like Texas.
Moss's return, even for this playoff game, has been in question for some time, but it would be a massive boost to this team without a doubt. The dimension he adds to this team when it comes to physicality is not something anyone esle on the current roster can fully replicate, though the Ags have a talented cadre of backs in many respects.
That's why some of the rumors of Moss being a healthy scratch have been so worrying for Aggie fans. In this day and age of college football, fans are more on alert than ever for players sitting out key games in order to preserve draft stock— but it looks like those rumors have turned out to only be rumors after all.

In practice clips released today, the Aggie faithful saw Moss playing— and looking essentially completely healthy. That's a great piece of news for Aggie fans, and one that is a huge relief.

If the situation described above were in fact the case— if Moss were simply trying to sit out and kill time until the draft while preserving his stock— then I doubt Elko would let him continue to participate in practice. The fact that he's a full go here tells us that that is not the case.
It also tells us that he is more than likely going to be ready to go in this game against the Hurricanes. That physicality in the run game, especially early on, will be a huge addition for this Aggie squad in this game and going forward, should they keep winning.
It's also worth noting that Scooby Williams and Bryce Anderson— two other senior leaders that missed the second half of the season— were practicing as well. We're looking at a fully healthy Aggie team for the first time since Notre Dame in this game.
