LSU QB Sam Leavitt Listed Doubtful for No. 1 Ole Miss Game After 366-Yard Outing

3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Sep 17

Sam Leavitt appeared on Wednesday’s initial SEC availability report as doubtful for Saturday’s LSU-Ole Miss matchup after being limited in practice by an upper-body injury.
The designation is a significant downgrade for LSU’s starter, who threw for 366 yards and four touchdowns against Louisiana Tech last week, and in SEC terms means he is unlikely to play.
Lane Kiffin had not disclosed any injury on Monday, leaving uncertainty over when Leavitt was hurt and whether LSU can get him cleared before kickoff.
The SEC will issue updated reports Thursday and Friday, with a final status due 90 minutes before warmups, as one of the season’s most anticipated conference games nears.
