Even Bill Snyder ‘somewhat amazed’ by on-field antics from KU’s flag-hiding tight end

Fox television cameras missed the fun. Kansas State coach Bill Snyder did not.

The strangest moment of Kansas’ football season — in a year filled with lots of them — took place midway through the fourth quarter of Saturday’s 21-17 loss to K-State. The Jayhawks had a second consecutive long run called back by a holding penalty, and tight end Mavin Saunders either lost his mind ... or, perhaps, decided in the moment to become a stand-up comedian.

“I watched it. I saw it,” the 79-year-old Snyder said after the game. “Somewhat amazed.”

Saunders picked up an official’s flag that was inside the 10-yard line.
