The Boom Williams issue has taken the forefront of Kentucky Football news today, but there were also a few injuries to talk about as well.
Stoops declined to elaborate on why Williams was not on the field for the fourth quarter against Missouri. “Until then, we’ll support him any way we can, and the other guys will step up and compete”.
