The uncertainty of the game’s best player looms over this one. Coastal QB Kilton Anderson (ankle), the nation’s fifth-rated passer, has limped around in a protective boot all week. His coach has yet to declare whether Anderson will play. With a bye next week, it seems logical that the Chanticleers will hold Anderson out to assure a full return to health. His backup is a green freshman. Troy has covered in three straight, highlighted by a straight-up win at Nebraska, and the significant plunge with this spread to 14 adds welcome value.
