Several members of the Colorado defense have said they enjoy playing for new coordinator Jim Leavitt.

There are times, however, when those players are reminded that they've got a lot of work to do in order to excel in Leavitt's system.

In Saturday's intrasquad scrimmage at Folsom Field, the defense had some good moments, but also give up a 52-yard run to Christian Powell, a 39-yard touchdown pass to Lee Walker and four other touchdowns.
