A week ago the Kentucky football team headed to Auburn looking to make a statement. Ranked in the Top 25 beginning the season for the first time since 1978, the Cats played the eighth-ranked Tigers even for the first half. However, a blatant missed call and, their old nemesis, the turnover turned a close game into a 29-13 loss.\u00a0<\/a> On Saturday\u00a0Mark Stoops’ <\/a> team opens the home schedule with a visit from the “Lane Train.” Can the Cats bounce back? Before we begin previewing Ole Miss at Kentucky we have some breaking news to talk about.<\/p>\n It’s been one of the most talked-about topics with Kentucky football all summer and into the fall. When will a decision come on Joey Gatewood? <\/a>The answer turned out to be Wednesday night. The former Auburn quarterback who transferred to Kentucky late last year <\/a>was granted eligibility for this season by the NCAA and SEC. He played in one game as a true freshman then seven games in 2019. In limited action, Gatewood ran for 148 yards and three touchdowns and threw for two more. If you remember, Gatewood lost the quarterback job to Bo Nix<\/a> then decided to transfer. Coach Stoops tweeted about the decision.<\/p>\n We\u2019re excited that @joey1gatewood<\/a> has received waivers from the @NCAA<\/a> and @SEC<\/a> and will be eligible to play this season. We\u2019re thankful that the SEC Presidents and Commissioner @GregSankey<\/a> took into account the unique circumstances around this season.<\/p>\n — Mark Stoops (@UKCoachStoops) September 30, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\nFinally, A Decision<\/h4>\n
