> KANSAS STATE: Running back Leon Patton was charged with abuse involving a 4-month-old boy and was dismissed from the team. He was arrested and jailed Thursday on $30,000 bond for his actions July 15, police said. Patton already had been suspended from the team after a July traffic stop led to the discovery of outstanding warrants from 2007, one for stealing two video games from a Wal-Mart. He also was cited for an unpaid parking ticket. He rushed for 999 yards and 10 touchdowns.
