CU's Leavitt Sees Progress, But Wants More

BOULDER — There may be no tougher critic of the Colorado defense than Colorado defensive coordinator Jim Leavitt.

CU head coach Mike MacIntyre brought Leavitt to Colorado last winter to improve a defense that finished near the bottom of the nation in 2014 in nearly every key statistical category.

Improvement has been made, and Leavitt is optimistic. But for the man who helped turn Kansas State from a national laughingstock into a nationally ranked program as its co-defensive coordinator, it’s just the beginning.

“There’s some moments that you see that it’s getting a little better,” Leavitt said Tuesday morning.
