Georgia Tech backup quarterback Jaybo Shaw, who broke his collarbone in practice last month, has been cleared to play in the Mississippi State game Saturday, but coach Paul Johnson said he's not sure if or how much his backup will be used.

"I do not know, we will see how Jaybo does this week," Johnson said. "It might be a situation where we can give a series off. It is sometimes good to get to the sideline and watch a series if things are not going great. Jaybo was playing very well when he got hurt. We certainly have comfort level with him because he knows what is going on."

Shaw played a significant role in last year's 38-7 win over the Bulldogs. He completed 3 of 7 passes for 43 yards and a touchdown, and rushed nine times for 61 yards and a touchdown.
