Good news, Wildcats fans.

Sixth-year senior linebacker Jordan Wright will be available to play Saturday against the Florida Gators. The top 25 matchup was going to be tough enough, Kentucky already likely down the services of All-SEC running back Chris Rodriguez. Missing Wright would have made an already challenging game that much harder.

Wright missed Kentucky’s opener with an eligibility issue. It seems the NCAA has finally cleared that one up.

Kentucky football is facing one of the most important games of not only the season, but the decade this week in The Swamp. The Wildcats have a top 20 ranking, all the hype and a team that legitimately contend for the SEC East. Are we getting ahead of ourselves?

Maybe. Kentucky struggled slightly in the first half against Miami (OH) last week, but pulled away in the end to win 37-13.
