FORT COLLINS — Colorado State coach Mike Bobo wanted to do a true spring game, like last year, but in looking at the numbers, he just doesn’t think it’s feasible.

The Rams have dealt with some injuries this spring, but that’s not the issue for him.

“I would say a lot to do with the 20-something seniors we graduated,” Bobo said after Tuesday’s practice. “We’ve got about the same number of injuries that everybody has in spring ball. I’d traditionally like to draft teams or play a true game, but just because of some depth issues, especially at linebacker, a little bit up front and at corner, so that guys can play with both 1s and 2s, we’ll go offense vs. defense and have a modified scoring system.”

Bobo said he’s still researching — hello Google — exactly how to score it.

The Rams have been without linebacker Deonte Clyburn all spring, and that has thinned that group. Injuries have dented the defensive front and corner, but also running back. Izzy Matthews has been in a red jersey the past two weeks, but Bobo said he will scrimmage to some degree. Bryce Peters, who has played well in both scrimmages, rushed for 96 yards last Saturday and right into a boot on his left foot.

He is doubtful, Bobo said, but is pushing to be able to play.

Receiver Deionte Gaines will not play, as Bobo confirmed he is not with the team at this time. He wasn’t ready to comment on why.

“When I have a statement, I’ll make a statement on Deionte and I’ll let y’all know,” Bobo said. “But it’s an in-house matter now.”

Regardless, the scrimmage will start at 1 p.m. at Lubick Field at Hughes Stadium, with festivities surrounding the game starting at 9:30 a.m.

At that time a group of former CSU players will take part in a flag football game against The Choice City All-Stars, which will end at 10:45. By that time, the Ram Town Kids Zone will have opened (10 a.m.), with inflatables for the kids to play in at the tailgate area near the southwest corner of the stadium. At the same time in the area, a youth football clinic will be held for children in Kindergarten through eighth grade. Registration begins at 10 a.m., and the clinic is run with the City of Fort Collins Recreation department.

Also beginning at 10 a.m., fans interested in becoming season ticket holders can tour the stadium with the CSU sales team and pick seats that are still available. Chik-fil-A will start handing out 1,000 free sandwiches at 11 a.m. on the west concourse of the stadium.

After the game, players will be available to sign autographs on the field. Fans can pick up a 2016 schedule poster at the game for the players to sign. All parking for the day is free at the stadium.
