Monday night on his weekly radio show Kentucky coach Mark Stoops said quarterback Stephen Johnson had a “banged up” wrist.

After practice Tuesday, Stoops said that he did not want to talk about the wrist and neither did Johnson.

“It’s not an issue. He’s got a little banged up. Everybody is banged up and bruised. Nobody here is looking for that excuse, and certainly not Stephen. Everybody’s got to play banged up,” Stoops said.

Johnson ran the ball more in last week’s win over Vanderbilt when he was just 10 of 24 passing with one interception.

Offensive coordinator Eddie Gran said he was just taking what the defense gave him.

“Some of them, he didn’t have a chance to step up and throw and he got us some first downs by running the ball. Some of it for what we do allows him to run the ball. For example, the touchdown he scored. Great read, made a great decision. Those things I think he’s doing very well,” Gran said.
