I look at any coaching award as a team award. The offense for being so good on 3rd downs to keep the defense off the field. The players on the defense for stepping up and making plays. The other coaches and staffers who worked with the defense. The training staff, academic staff and recruiting staff. Etc. Leavitt did his job very well -- as a Buff -- and his name is on the hardware, but the entire group should take pride in it.

I feel the same way about all the awards that MacIntyre is receiving.

Tedric named PFF Best Coverage Defender

Best coverage defender
Tedric Thompson, S, Colorado
PFF grade: 83.8; Pos. rank: 11
The Colorado Buffaloes’ performance and them getting to the Pac-12 Championship Game was one of the surprises of the season. A big part of Colorado’s success was the play of their secondary and how they could shut wide receivers down for entire games. While there were three elite performances from cornerbacks on that team, the award goes to Thompson, who lined up occasionally as a cornerback, but played the majority of his snaps as a free safety. His position, combined with his playmaking ability, made quarterbacks think twice about targeting the middle of the field and his range forced opposing signal callers to be more precise on sideline passes as well.

Thompson, who edged out Nebraska’s Nate Gerry for this award, recorded seven interceptions this season, tied for third-most in the nation and tied for most for safeties in college football. Furthermore, the Colorado safety had seven pass breakups as well, tied for third among safeties. Thompson’s best outing came against the Utah Utes as he allowed only two receptions for one yard on 11 targets while also recording two interceptions and two pass breakups in that game. Also, unlike some other players, Thompson not only made big defensive plays, but also did not allow a lot of offensive plays. As a result, he allowed only one touchdown in coverage, which led to an opposing passer rating of 22.3 on the season, the second-lowest among safeties in the nation. – Zoltan Buday
