This, the final meeting in a 2-for-1 contract between the schools, closes out what has been an intriguing series. It was the first game, a stunning OSU loss at Troy in 2007, that sparked “The Rant” after all. The rematch in 2008 brought revenge for the Cowboys. Now this game, with both teams looking to start 2-0 and prove they’re better than perceptions. Five players on the spot tonight:
COWBOYS DTs
Bill Young must have felt ill in the opener, when starting defensive tackles Shane Jarka and Chris Donaldson went down. With Jarka out and Donaldson questionable, the pressure is on a cast of youngsters – Nigel Nicholas, Anthony Rogers, Davidell Collins, et al – to hold down the fort.
OSU’S “OTHER” WIDEOUTS
OK, Justin Blackmon’s got game. Who else? Eventually, Dana Holgorsen’s spread offense is going to need more playmaking wide receivers to show up. Nobody left on the schedule is as woeful as Wazzu. Calling Josh Cooper and Tracy Moore and Bo Bowling. Oh, and Hubert Anyiam.
JERREL JERNIGAN, SLASH, TROY
Yeah, we’ll call him a slash, since he’s every bit a WR/QB for the Trojans. And because he can slash up a defense. Jernigan follows a long list of NFL-type talents to play for the Trojans. For the Trojans to have a chance tonight, he’ll have to go off. And he could.
COWBOYS SAFETIES
Jernigan was a focus of the Cowboys’ defensive meetings all week long. He’ll have to be accounted for on every snap, with his whereabouts critical. While everyone’s on alert, safeties Markelle Martin, Victor Johnson and Johnny Thomas face the brunt of the challenge.

ON THE SPOT
The game’s not on TV. Not even pay-per-view. The only way to catch your squad is to show up at Boone Pickens Stadium. Your Pokes produced big-time in the opener, with exciting offense and hard-hat defense. Seriously, it’s time to start selling out.
