The Kansas players who refused to shake hands with Oklahoma players at the coin toss in last weekend's game won't be captains this week, reports Jesse Newell of TheKansas City Star. 

Newell reported that head coach David Beaty said Joe Dineen, Daniel Wise and Dorance Armstrong not being captains was the extent of the public punishment and that they will be available to start Saturday's game against No.18 Oklahoma State.

In the second quarter of the game, Jayhawks' cornerback Hasan Defense made a late hit on Sooners quarterback Baker Mayfield.
