Bill Snyder has officially named Jake Waters as K-State’s starting quarterback for Friday’s season opener against North Dakota State. Waters beat out redshirt sophomore Daniel Sams, who played sparingly behind Collin Klein last season. “Jake just displayed more consistency,” Snyder said. “It’s mental, emotional and physical and there was more consistency in his presence during these 24 or 25 practices that we’ve had.” Snyder mentioned Sams will “in all likelihood” still play during the opener, and that he may have been held back a little bit during fall camp. “What slowed Daniel down a little bit was that he missed…

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP)– For the first and quite possibly the only time in his career, the Kansas City Royals have parlayed Billy Butler’s plodding foot speed into a win. At 6-foot-1 and 250 pounds, the burly DH does not run so much as he chugs. But with the game tied with two out in the eighth on Sunday, Butler hustled to first base to keep the inning alive. Then he hurried with all his might a few minutes later and was safe at third, allowing Eric Hosmer to cross the plate with the tiebreaking run in what turned into…
