It’s hard to think of a worse start for the Texas A&M Aggies.
Already trailing by two scores on the road against the South Carolina Gamecocks, the Aggies are now dealing with an injury to star running back Le’Veon Moss. The junior took a flat 20-yard route for A&M’s first big play of the night, but unfortunately took a big low hit and was down for several minutes. Trainers helped him to the medical tent and he didn’t stress his right leg.
Hailing from Walker, La., Moss has been the centerpiece of the Aggies offense this season. In eight games, he rushed for 757 yards and 10 touchdowns to lead the SEC’s second-best rushing attack. He also had 121 yards as a receiver.
If Moss can’t return, it would be a big blow to the Aggies’ offense. Amari Daniels, who has 383 rushing yards and five touchdowns on the season, is a capable back, but the 1-2 punch is what makes the offense so effective (pun intended).
The Aggies trailed the Gamecocks 14-3 late in the first quarter, needing to rally to continue their seven-game winning streak.
