Texas A&M fans have been on the knife's edge worrying about star running back Le'Veon Moss's availability for this upcoming game against the Miami Hurricanes. Moss has been out since suffering an injury against the Florida Gators, and his absence has been notable in several games, including the loss against Texas.
Recent developments have shown Moss engaged in practice with the rest of the team, which is a positive sign without a doubt, but there's still been no official confirmation from Mike Elko. The Aggie head man described the situation as "wait and see" in his most recent comments, so that's exactly what A&M fans have been doing.
Those who were waiting for an update in last night's availability report got no answers. Moss was listed as "questionable" in the report, indicating a roughly 50% shot that he'll be available for this one— something that's either master gamesmanship from the Aggie head man or a huge concern for fans.
Le'Veon Moss listed as "questionable" for playoff game vs Miami, setting Aggie fans on edge
The dimension that Moss adds to the Aggie run game really cannot be understated. His physicality is unmatched by any other back on the roster, and he can really lean on opposing defenses, breaking tackles left and right and always making positive gains for the Aggies.
Listing him as questionable keeps the tension in the air not only for Aggie fans, but also the Miami Hurricanes. If I had to guess, we won't get an answer on Moss's availability until game time for that exact reason.
With this being such a key game for the Aggies, you have to take advantage of every possible edge you can get. This availability report could be an expression of that— or it could be an early warning sign for the Aggie faithful.
It's more likely than not that he plays, given that he appears to have recovered from the injury he sustained against the Gators. If he doesn't play, there may be something else going on besides injury concerns, which would be a huge bummer for Aggie fans.
