BOULDER — Almost as soon as Jim Leavitt took the job as Colorado’s defensive coordinator, Buff fans wanted to know one thing:
Would the Buffs stick with a 4-3 defense, or would they switch to a 3-4?
The answer (drum roll please): Yes
They’ll do both, and also throw in a little 4-2 for good measure when the situation dictates. In simple terms, Leavitt said, the Buffs will run whatever’s necessary in an attempt to slow down the high-powered offenses that have become so prevalent in the Pac-12.
“We’re going to be a little different,” Leavitt said after practice earlier this week.
