- Pick/market: The stories behind 100 years of Tiger Stadium told by the LSU community - Reveille Tiger Stadium is built not just of concrete and steel but of the devotion and tradition of one of...

- Pick/market: "The Return" is just two days away.

- Pick/market: New: Can LSU take something away from Trinidad Chambliss on Saturday, o-line improvement, an aggressive but smart passing attack and much more.

- Pick/market: Yep, they credited the second one as a TFL.

- Game breakdown: Love this pick, Twisted!

- Injury: I rolled with the two-deep here - which has consistently been Geralds, McKinley, Green + Richard Anderson.

- LSU quarterback Sam Leavitt is off Friday night's SEC availability report and listed as active for Ole Miss after dealing with back spasms. He was doubtful on Wednesday and questionable on Thursday. This is the newer status update, superseding those earlier designations; it does not predict his performance or mobility in the game. - Leavitt missed Wednesday practice, then participated in Thursday and Friday walkthroughs, according to the report and sources cited by Matt Zenitz. That documents his return to team preparation, but the article does not establish a full-speed practice workload or guarantee that the back issue cannot recur. - LSU linebacker TJ Dottery remains questionable on Friday night's report, approximately 24 hours before the Ole Miss game. The article provides no new clearance, replacement assignment or expected snap count for him.

- Injury: New: The first SEC availability report is out.

- BATON ROUGE – LSU will play a fourth straight night game next week when the Tigers welcome Texas A&M to Tiger Stadium for the second consecutive season. - LSU opened the season with wins over Clemson and Louisiana Tech in Tiger Stadium, both coming at night in Tiger Stadium. - LSU has won 25 of its last 27 night games in Tiger Stadium.

- QB/LB: New: The SEC Availability Report has been updated and #LSU QB Sam Leavitt is ready to roll.

- QB/LB: Shocking… Doubtful turns to questionable 24 hours later.

- QB/LB: The SEC Availability Report: #LSU QB Sam Leavitt's status has been upgraded from "doubtful" to "questionable" ahead of Week 3 at Ole Miss.

- QB/LB: News: #LSU QB Sam Leavitt returned to practice on Thursday - participating in a walkthrough, sources tell @mzenitz .

- QB/LB: Probably just limited with all the work he got last week.

- QB/DL: Sterling Lucas' keys to being effective on the defensive end: 1) Set the edge in the run game, most importantly 2) Get after the quarterback

- QB/LB: "Sam's shoulder fell off and crashed the site" has me dead

- QB/LB: There’s a fine line here.

- QB/RB: Lane Kiffin's return to Oxford, Mississippi, is right around the corner as No.

- QB: I do believe Leavitt rolls out there on Saturday night - BUT if Clark was to get the nod, it would certainly change my answers.

- The Sept. 17 report says LSU listed Sam Leavitt as doubtful ahead of Ole Miss. Doubtful is not the same as ruled out, and the article notes uncertainty about whether he will miss the game. It does not confirm a replacement starter or provide a new medical diagnosis. - LSU's printed depth chart lists Husan Longstreet second, but Landen Clark took the first backup snaps in both opening games. The report says that matches Clark's offseason progress while Leavitt was recovering during spring. Actual usage favors Clark as an option, but neither that usage nor the chart confirms Saturday's starter. - In relief against Clemson and Louisiana Tech, Clark completed seven of 10 passes for 109 yards and a touchdown and ran seven times for 42 yards. Those are encouraging but limited backup reps, not evidence that he has already handled a full game against a top opponent. - Scouting sources describe Clark as a strong-armed athlete who can extend plays, handle designed quarterback runs and operate in the RPO game. LSU viewed that as a fit for Lane Kiffin's offense. The scouting assessment identifies possible options if Clark is needed; it is not an announced Ole Miss game plan.

- QB/LB: I didn't realize not practicing on the day of a medical update slotted you immediately into the doubtful column.

- Intel: He was on the depth chart but he's been listed as out.

- Intel: NEW: The week three official depth chart is up for LSU-Ole Miss.

- Geaux247 reports, citing multiple sources, that LSU quarterback Sam Leavitt will start at Ole Miss after treatment for back spasms. He was removed from Friday's SEC availability report after initially being doubtful. Landen Clark remains the backup; the report does not establish that Leavitt is symptom-free. - LSU linebacker TJ Dottery remained questionable on Friday's SEC availability report with a lower-body injury after wearing a boot during the week. Geaux247's sources nevertheless expect him to play beside Whit Weeks. That expectation is not an official removal from the questionable designation. - Geaux247 describes LSU's offensive line as strong against Clemson but worse against Louisiana Tech, making protection for Leavitt and interior run blocking concerns at Ole Miss. Dilin Jones remains the lead back in the article's chart; the writer projects Stacy Gage and Harlem Berry to handle backup snaps rather than confirming a new rotation. - LSU's first receiver group remains Winston Watkins Jr., Eugene Wilson and Jackson Harris in Geaux247's chart. The writer projects more explosive-play opportunities for Harris and a favorable receiving matchup for tight end Trey'Dez Green against Ole Miss. Those are matchup forecasts, not announced target increases or a changed starting group. - Geaux247 credits freshman Deuce Geralds with two sacks and an important interior role for LSU, with Stephiylan Green and Dominick McKinley also taking substantial snaps. The preview identifies edge rushers Princewill Umanmielen and Jordan Ross containing Trinidad Chambliss as the key defensive matchup; it does not report a new front or role change.

- OL: Aliou Bah: 60.8 PFF GradeBo Bordelon: 57.5 PFF GradeWeston Davis: 43.3 PFF GradeAll starters played 70+ snaps along the o-line.

- Intel: Sean Thompkins in more limited role has graded out well at backup tackle.

- LSU linebacker Whit Weeks says Blake Baker has expanded the defense because he trusts Weeks, T.J. Dottery and Ty Benefield to handle more of the system. Weeks described receiving an installation in the morning and executing it at practice two hours later. That is a player's account of greater schematic flexibility and preparation speed, not evidence of a new starting lineup. - LSU edge Princewill Umanmielen identified keeping Ole Miss' mobile players in the pocket as a defensive priority. Players with Ole Miss experience are sharing personnel tips with both LSU units, but he did not claim familiarity alone provides an edge. The comments support a containment focus, not a confirmed pressure package.

- RB: Lane Kiffin’s “Homecoming” is cool and all but I’m just here for moments like this.

- OL: I think LSU - Ole Miss is as close as you get to a 50/50 toss-up game.

- OL/LB: I understand LSU's offensive line was dissapointing last week, but people need to realize they won't face the same sort of front for the rest of the season.

- Pick/market: Because you were still going to win by 30+ points and even up 10-7 at halftime La Tech had zero yards on offense.

- LSU edge rusher Princewill Umanmielen recorded three sacks against Louisiana Tech and has five this season on 32 pass-rush snaps, according to PFF figures cited by LSU. That is an early pass-rush production positive before Ole Miss, not a sustainable sack-rate projection.

- DL: New: When breaking down this battle between LSU and Ole Miss this weekend, you don't have to get very far to look at the Trinidad Chambliss against this LSU defensive line.

- DL/LB: When breaking down this battle between LSU and Ole Miss this weekend, you don't have to get very far to look at the Trinidad Chambliss against this LSU defense.

- LB: “I just can’t see this defense letting Kewan Lacy run the ball down their throat.” -former LSU linebacker Darry Beckwith on Tiger Rag Radio

- DL/LB: The good thing is that LSU's defensive line will have MUCH MORE pressure than they did last season on him.

- Intel: Bumping this back up here as buzz continues brewing roughly 48 hours out from kickoff in Oxford...

- Intel: Live blog has been started as we are about one hour away from kickoff.

- Intel: Here we go… Lane Kiffin’s return to Oxford is here with kickoff just hours away between LSU and Ole Miss.

- LB: The X-Factors: Week 3 Edition Lane Kiffin and the #LSU Tigers will need multiple players on both sides of the ball to step up on Saturday night in Oxford.
