News and notes as game week arrives

By Scott Wright

As I prepared for game week, I came across a few fun and interesting items regarding the Oklahoma State-Washington State game.

– Washington State will play 13 regular-season games this season. Forgive my ignorance but I didn’t realize the NCAA still allowed an extra game for teams who play at Hawaii. The Cougars play at Hawaii Nov. 29.

– There are a few noteworthy changes to the OSU depth chart from a week ago, when (because of production deadlines) I put together the two-deep that appeared in the Dirty Jobs special section Sunday.

• Artrell Woods is listed as the No. 2 receiver at one wideout spot behind DeMarcus Connor, with Hubert Anyiam as the No. 3 behind Dez Bryant. Josh Cooper is ahead of Bo Bowling as the No. 2 slot receiver.

• Quencey Patrick and Chris Donaldson are backing up DT Jeray Chatham. Mike Gundy said last week that Shane Jarka is Chatham’s backup.

• Justin Gent is ahead of junior-college transfer Donald Booker as the No. 2 middle linebacker.
