Kansas State senior tight end Rashaad Norwood was arrested not once, but twice Sunday, charged with multiple counts relating to a domestic incident.

Norwood, who was suspended from the team Monday, allegedly broke into the apartment of a female victim early Sunday, resulting in the first arrest. Later that day, police were called back to the apartment, where they found Norwood hiding under a bed.

He's been charged with domestic battery, criminal damage to property, criminal trespassing and obstruction of the legal process.

Norwood started 10 games last year, ranking second on the team with 36 catches for 358 yards.

•More madness: K-State coach Ron Prince was none too pleased with Saturday's practice. So, he reacted.

According to the Wichita Eagle, Prince sent his entire offensive unit — some coaches included — into the south stands to run stadium steps.

What set Prince off?

A ragged day by the offense that included too many — for Prince's taste — dropped passes, false starts and misfires by quarterback Josh Freeman, who failed to complete a pass in 11-on-11 drills.

"I'm not real happy with the way things are right now,” Prince told the paper. "I don't like our focus.”

•Tiger tale: Offense was always considered Missouri's strength entering this season. And a defense returning just four starters was cause for some concern.

Well, concern might be escalating in Columbia, where the Tigers have talked about a Big 12 championship.

Mizzou's offense has shredded the defense in two major preseason scrimmages. Saturday, both the first- and second-team offenses had their way, producing a 51-17 "win” under a unique scoring system.

The first two offenses combined for 625 yards of total offense and 10 touchdowns against the top two defensive units.
