The Louisville Cardinals find themselves in an intriguing spot with Miller Moss going into their Week 13 matchup against the SMU Mustangs.
Moss has commanded the starting spot at quarterback for the Cardinals this season, granting them a great year that will have them eligible for a bowl game. However, he has picked up an injury that has put his status for the upcoming contest in question.
While the injury is not severe, it might prevent him taking part in the game. This is where 247Sports' insider Matt Zenitz came in to provide his take, believing that the quarterback will be absent while redshirt freshman Deuce Adams makes the start instead.
“It’s currently trending toward Louisville QB Miller Moss missing tomorrow’s game vs. SMU due to an injury and redshirt freshman Deuce Adams making the start for the Cardinals, sources tell @CBSSports. Louisville and SMU both enter the game 7-3,” Zenitz wrote.
