The Missouri Tigers are clearly better with Ahmad Hardy on the field.

The superstar running back has been their potent leader all season long.

On Saturday, Mizzou is set to take on Virginia in the Gator Bowl.

Hardy is the type of player who could've chosen to opt-out to look toward his future. But that's not what's happening.

Is Ahmad Hardy playing today?

Every indication is that Hardy will suit up and play in the Gator Bowl for Missouri.

He has history within his sights: With just 68 more yards, Hardy will be the Tigers' single-season rushing yardage record holder.

This season, Hardy has already run for 1,560 yards and 16 touchdowns.

It's his first season at Missouri after transferring from Louisiana-Monroe, where he had gone for 1,351 yards and 13 TDs a year ago.

Hardy will get one final chance to complete his massive campaign when he takes the field for Missouri on Saturday with the hope of ending the season with a win.
