Kansas State safety Dante Barnett likely will not be available to play in the Wildcats' Big 12 opener Saturday at Oklahoma State.

Kansas State's job to slow down the Oklahoma State offense appears be tougher with the continued loss of safety Dante Barnett.

The Tulsa, Okla., product, described as the "glue of the K-State defense" has been essentially ruled out for K-State's Big 12 opener by K-State coach Bill Snyder. Barnett sustained what appeared to be a shoulder or collarbone injury during the season opener, and he has not played since.
