A Fort Riley man was injured in a Saline County accident Sunday night. Austin Wright, 18, was driving a 1992 Nissan Pathfinder northbound on Highway 81, five miles north of Salina, when he fell asleep. The vehicle entered the center median, the driver woke up and over corrected, coming back onto Highway 81 but losing control of the vehicle. The vehicle then entered the center median again, overturning and coming to rest on its top. Wright was taken to Salina Regional Health Center. He was wearing a seat belt. The accident was reported by the Kansas Highway Patrol at 10:40 p.m.

Had Kansas State taken advantage of a few early opportunities Saturday against No. 19 Oklahoma, maybe things would have trended in a different direction. Maybe. But the Wildcats didn’t, and by the time they made adjustments, it was far too late. The result was perhaps the low point of the second Bill Snyder Era, a 55-0 loss that marked the first time K-State (3-3, 0-3 Big 12) has been shut out since 1996.
