Freshman tailback Derrick Locke will miss the Gaylord Hotels Music City Bowl, while senior wide receiver Keenan Burton and sophomore cornerback Paul Warford are doubtful to play in the contest, Coach Rich Brooks announced after Thursday?s practice.

Locke (Hugo, Okla.) sustained a fractured rib in practice. He is the team?s second-leading rusher with 521 yards and leads the team in rushing touchdowns with five. He also has been outstanding in punt and kickoff coverage, making 13 tackles this season. He was named UK?s Most Outstanding First-Year Player by the coaching staff.

Burton (Louisville, Ky.) may miss his final collegiate game because of a knee injury. He has been battling a sprained ankle since the second game of the season and then incurred the knee strain mid-season vs. Florida. He is the team?s leading receiver with 59 catches for 685 yards and nine touchdowns.

Warford (Richmond, Ky.) a starter at cornerback, has an injured shoulder. He is second on the team in pass interceptions (two) and pass breakups (seven). He has totaled 36 tackles on the season.

Kentucky is preparing to take on Florida State in the Music City Bowl on Dec. 31.

?Cat Walk? Set for Music City Bowl: The ?Cat Walk? has been set for 12:30 p.m. CST at LP Field before the Music City Bowl.

Fans are encouraged to line up on the east side of the stadium (same side of the stadium as parking lot ?C?) in order to greet the Wildcats when they arrive. Note that Kentucky is the visiting team this year, therefore the Cat Walk will be on the opposite side of the stadium from a year ago.
