Drew Barker still listed as the starting quarterback on the new depth chart

Despite going down with a back injury and being taken to the hospital for evaluation, sophomore Drew Barker is still listed as the starting quarterback on Kentucky’s latest depth chart. Even if Barker is 100% healthy — still no word on his condition — many believe that backup Stephen Johnson should be the starter vs. South Carolina on Saturday after ably stepping up in Barker’s absence. Johnson completed 17 passes for 310 yards, three touchdowns, and zero interceptions, and also carried the ball ten times for 51 yards. Regardless, Barker is listed as the starter.

Here’s the rest of the depth chart, which has zero changes on offense:
