BOULDER — During Colorado's spring game April 9, Jim Leavitt got a unique perspective of his defense.

For the first time ever, he said, the Buffs' defensive coordinator watched the game from the press box instead of the field.

"It was good to go up there and see it," he said. "You can see more, but I've just been on the sidelines my whole life."

Regardless of his point of view, though, Leavitt likes what he saw from the CU defense.

"We did a good job (in spring)," Leavitt said.
