Joe Tumpkin has yet to coach a game with the Colorado football team, but he's already liking what he's seeing from the Buffaloes' secondary.
"I love the energy right now, I love how they're picking up the packages and the process in training camp," said Tumpkin, who was hired in February to coach CU's safeties.
Having served as Central Michigan's defensive coordinator the past five seasons, Tumpkin has a keen eye for everything going on defensively. He said that in the early going, he's encouraged not only by the safeties, but by the cornerbacks as well.
"I enjoy the leadership we're having in the secondary," Tumpkin said.
