Is Terrell Anderson, the transfer from North Carolina State, going to play wide receiver soon? He has yet to catch a pass. That puts him in the same company as defensive tackle Jahkeem Stewart in terms of contribution.

Wide receiver Tanook Hines did not catch a pass in the last game and may not have played. He came back from injury vs. Fresno State. So he may have suffered a setback.
