Cavaliers hoping for speedy recoveries
Running back Mikell Simpson (hamstring) and defensive end Nate Collins (shoulder), two Virginia seniors who were injured in Saturday's loss to Clemson, both expressed optimism that they will play Saturday against Virginia Tech. It is the final games of their collegiate careers after all, and it is likely they will err on the side of playing.
That said, Coach Al Groh indicated that the criteria to become medically cleared is no different than any other week.
"Before I can answer that question, I'd have to ask the doctors, but I wouldn't imagine so," Groh said. "They know we'd like to have everyone for every game. But I think the big deal is I think they're going to make a judgment for what's good for the players. They're trying to get the players back to the team as fast as they can. By the same token, it's their job to protect the players, too."
