After a loss to Notre Dame this past Saturday, Georgia Tech is back to work and getting ready for a matchup with Virginia Tech on Saturday. With a win, the Yellow Jackets will clinch bowl eligibility for the second straight season and move to 6-3.

Getting to 6-3 is not going to be an easy task though. Virginia Tech might be 4-3, but they have been playing well in their last three games and they still have an outside shot of making the ACC Championship. This game has a lot at stake for both teams and is one of the ACC"s biggest games this weekend.

There are no changes to the depth chart from last week. Haynes King is still listed on there, as is linebacker Kyle Efford and defensive back Rodney Shelley. When asked today about King's status heading into the game on Saturday, Yellow Jackets head coach Brent Key said this:

"All right, so Haynes is still day-to-day, okay? Mike told me before I came down here, that there's some report that someone had come out with on something or another that said that he's not playing. There's one person in the entire stratosphere that makes that call and that's myself. And there's been zero call made on that. Zero. Okay, he's day-to-day. Are we preparing the other guys to play? Yes. All right. Are we ruling him out? No. You heard it from the horse's mouth right there."

Here is the depth chart that was released today.
