Spring Football Notebook: Practice 12
4/14/2015 12:00:00 AM | Football
The Colorado State football program began its final week of spring camp on Tuesday afternoon, the 12th practice of camp. The Rams will practice on Thursday and Friday before Saturday's Green and Gold Spring Game.
On Tuesday, head coach Mike Bobo said there were a lot of positives.
"There were a lot of `atta boys' and `good jobs' and people doing things right today," Bobo said. "There is still tons of room for improvement. That is what any champion does any day they go to work, there is room for things to get better on."
The first-year head coach was asked if he was happy about where his team is as spring ball begins to wind down.
"I don't think you're ever where you want to be as a football coach," Bobo said. "The play doesn't work we take it harder than anybody, then you have to regroup and look at the film. We realize we are still installing, it's a new team but I'm never satisfied after any practice of where we are at. We are always trying to push them to the limit and realize that we've never arrived."
Bobo began to address Saturday's Green and Gold Game and what he is hoping to see from his team.
"We need to show that guys want to compete," Bobo said. "They want to compete for a job. No jobs have been won out there, so I want to see guys who are going to be able to play and execute."
The Rams will be back on the field Thursday for the 13th practice of spring.
