Bobo: “I feel very encouraged by the test results to this point and hope to have some answers soon.”

Colorado State head coach Mike Bobo was taken to a hospital for evaluation after experiencing numbness in his feet, the school reported Monday.

The action took place after Colorado State’s second scrimmage on Saturday. Bobo reported the numbness and was admitted to a hospital under the advice of doctors.

Bobo said in a statement that he expects to resume his head coaching duties soon.

“I feel very encouraged by the test results to this point and hope to have some answers soon,” Bobo said in his statement. “I also feel very encouraged about our 2018 CSU Football team. We have excellent coaches and excellent leadership in this program, and I have full confidence that they will continue to have tremendous preparation on and off the practice field for as long as I must be away. My family and I appreciate all of the great care and support we are receiving.”

Colorado State director of athletics Joe Parker also released a statement.

“I share Mike’s confidence that we have tremendous leadership in our football program, and that the coaching staff will continue to successfully guide the team through practices and meetings while he is away,” Parker said in his statement.

Bobo is entering his fourth season as head coach at Colorado State. The Rams went 7-6 in each of the previous three seasons.

Colorado State opens the season on August 25 at home against Hawaii.
