Arizona Wildcats football practice

Arizona quarterbacks coach Rod Smith takes a swipe at the ball while quarterback Anu Solomon takes part in a drill at Sancet Stadium.

Rod Smith and Calvin Magee had an old friend on the Colorado sideline on Saturday night.

Buffaloes defensive coordinator Jim Leavitt was the head coach at South Florida from 1996-2009, and both Magee and Smith worked for him during that stretch. Magee was USFโ€™s tight ends coach in 1996 and their running backs coach from 1997-2000. Smith was the quarterbacks coach from 2001-04 and added offensive coordinator duties in 2005-06.ย
