Le'Veon Moss, the star running back for Texas A&M, suffered an ankle injury during their win over Florida, and his status for the upcoming game against Arkansas is uncertain. The injury report, released on Wednesday, indicates that Moss will likely miss the game, but head coach Mike Elko assured fans that it's not expected to be a season-ending injury. This leaves Rueben Owens as the primary running back for Texas A&M while Moss recovers.
The Aggies will need to rely on other players like Jamarion Morrow, Amari Daniels, and EJ Smith to step up during Moss' absence. Coach Elko expressed his disappointment at the loss, emphasizing Moss' dedication and impact on the team. He stated, 'I love Le'Veon. I wish he was healthy. We're going to miss him. He's been a warrior for this program.'
Arkansas, on the other hand, is facing its own challenges. The Razorbacks have a 42-36-3 record against Texas A&M, but they are currently on a four-game losing streak. They recently parted ways with head coach Sam Pittman, adding to their struggles. The game between Arkansas and Texas A&M is set for 2:30 p.m. CT on Saturday in Fayetteville, and both teams will release availability reports throughout the week to keep fans informed.
This SEC matchup promises to be an intriguing contest, with Texas A&M aiming to maintain their undefeated conference record and Arkansas looking to break their losing streak. The Aggies' recent dominance over the Razorbacks, winning 12 of the last 13 meetings, adds an extra layer of complexity to the game. Fans can expect a thrilling showdown as both teams battle for conference supremacy.
