Barker still involved

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WTVQ) – Drew Barker’s status hasn’t really changed.  He’s still week-to-week at this point.

But it’s safe to say if Kentucky beats Miss State, Stephen Johnson wouldn’t be pulled down the stretch even if Barker does get healthy.

The quarterback battle wasn’t handed to Barker at the beginning of the season.

He won it outright.

But at this point, you can’t pull a winner behind center not knowing how game ready Barker will be.

The good news?  Drew is in Johnson’s ear and still very close to what’s happening on offense.  Barker’s not removed from the team in any way and that has Mark Stoops feeling good.

Hear from Stoops in the video.
