Kansas State football coach Bill Snyder tends to keep personnel decisions secret from the outside world, but he made a rare exception earlier this week in order to clear up the team’s pecking order at running back.
Alex Barnes, he said, will lead the way.
Don’t pay attention to the depth chart, which indicates K-State coaches will wait until the last minute to choose a starter for the season-opener against Central Arkansas. Barnes, a sophomore running back from Pittsburg, earned the starting spot in preseason camp after averaging 7.9 yards per carry as a freshman.
