An in-state rival running the option is nothing new for Mike Bobo. He saw plenty of it during his time at the University of Georgia when the Bulldogs would play option-oriented Georgia Tech.
But that’s not the only coincidence about the Colorado State-Air Force rivalry as it pertains to CSU’s first-year head coach.
Triple option football is not all that common at the collegiate level. Air Force is one of the few teams that faithfully employs it. Mike Bobo was raised on it.
“This is my dad’s kind of ball right here,” he said.
In fact, Air Force’s offensive line coach Clay Hendrix once played for Mike’s father, George Bobo.
