Arkansas State head football coach Blake Anderson announced Monday that he has recovered from a positive COVID-19 test following the win over Kansas State on September 12.
“We’ve dealt with positive cases in the past, but this is really the first time we have dealt with a lot of guys that have actually felt sick, including myself,” said Anderson. “I’ll be honest with you. I tested positive and I ran fever for 10 days. I know that is going to take a lot of people by surprise. I didn’t announce it like Mike Norvell did. At the time there were a lot of other things going on and we knew we weren’t going to be playing, so I knew I wasn’t going to miss a game.”
Anderson stated that more players have been symptomatic, which has led to both the UCA and the Tulsa games to be postponed to later dates.
“We had more guys symptomatic at this particular time than we have at any point during this whole ordeal, and it was obvious they were not going to have time to get acclimated back to the field,” said Anderson. “So we went from kind of thinking ahead of who was going to be available on paper to realizing as we interviewed each person every day – which we did thoroughly – they were just not going to be ready. We are not putting them out there. We are not putting people on the field.”
