UVa football notes: Sims expresses frustration
Has UVa quarterback Phillip Sims successfully got back to being Phillip Sims? “It really looks like it’s headed in the opposite direction, but it is what it is,” he said Saturday in the McCue Center after UVa finished spring practice. “I’m here to play football, man. Nobody wants to hear the excuses about what’s going on with this; how is this going? If I can’t be me, I got to be as close as I can be.”
