Gameday: OSU vs. Arizona

GINA MIZELL

* OSU 38, Arizona 20: Arizona's offense has talent and experience at the skill positions, but not on the offensive line. The OSU defense will take advantage of that, and the Cowboy offense should correct mistakes and continue to build off of Saturday's performance.

* OSU 38, Arizona 14: The pressure's on... the uniform choice. The Cowboys own an edge in almost every matchup. And the quick turnaround is tougher on the traveling Wildcats, who are also reeling from injuries.

* OSU 42, Arizona 17: Arizona will be a much stiffer test than Louisiana-Lafayette was, but with the Thursday night lights shining, the Cowboys will be much sharper than the opener. The Wildcats don't have the claws to hang with them.

* OSU 41, Arizona 28: No way the Wildcats can be as bad as they were in the Alamo Bowl. If Brandon Weeden throws interceptions, the game could get interesting.

OSU POINT/COUNTERPOINT: WHO IS OKLAHOMA STATE'S NO. 2 RECEIVER BEHIND JUSTIN BLACKMON?

TRACY MOORE

Tracy Moore could be this year's Justin Blackmon — a little-used receiver who comes out of nowhere to have a monster season for the Cowboys.

That's what it looks like after the opener. The junior has always shown great potential, but until his seven-catch, 112-yard performance against Louisiana-Lafayette, the most catches he'd had in a game was four. Now, Moore looks like a target for Brandon Weeden. The Cowboy quarterback threw to his first three passes to Moore in the opener, connecting twice for a combined 46 yards.

Much like Blackmon did heading into last season, Moore committed himself like never before, dropping 20 pounds and sculpting his 6-foot-1 frame.
