Luke Wright starting as Stephen Johnson dealing with injury

The Kentucky Wildcats have made a surprising move to start Luke Wright vs Austin Peay.

About 30 minutes before kickoff, UK announced that Wright was getting the start in placed of an injured Stephens Johnson, who apparently suffered an injury vs Tennessee last week.

Sophomore Luke Wright will start at QB today in place of Stephen Johnson, who injured knee at Tennessee. Johnson available in emergency.
