Coach Brent Key said Monday that Jeff Sims (undisclosed) is labeled as day-to-day ahead of Thursday’s game against Virginia, Kelly Quinlan of JacketsOnline.com reports. Sims’ availability for Thursday’s contest against the Cavaliers appears up in the air, after he exited late in the game versus Duke in Week 6 with an unspecified injury. If the sophomore quarterback is unable to gain medical clearance to play against Virginia on Thursday, Zach Gibson would likely be next in line under center for Georgia Tech.
