Kentucky is thin at running back — really thin, actually. Chris Rodriguez is unavailable, Ramon Jefferson is out for the year with a torn ACL and JuTahn McClain is week-to-week with an undisclosed injury.
Going into the Wildcats’ matchup at Florida on Saturday, only two running backs are listed on the depth chart: Kavosiey Smoke and La’Vell Wright. And luckily for Kentucky, the backfield duo has had a good week of practice.
“I am (happy with what I saw out of Wright this week),” head coach Mark Stoops said Thursday.
