Buffs' Leavitt Ready For Matchup Against Ex-Boss Harbaugh

Michigan coach says he's been impressed with CU defense

BOULDER — When asked about Colorado defensive coordinator Jim Leavitt, Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh allowed the slightest of grins to cross his face, accompanied by an almost imperceptible nod of his head.

It was an acknowledgement not only of recognition, but of respect.

"Good man," Harbaugh said at his Monday press conference.

But just as quickly as Harbaugh voiced his personal thoughts about his former assistant, the Michigan coach quickly dropped back into analytical mode. The smile disappeared and Harbaugh quickly rattled off what he's seen so far from Leavitt's Buffs this season.
