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

- 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.

- QB: If I remember correctly, Jamal Adams ran him down a couple times.

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

- DL/LB: I see both sides…it’s just where I’m at today with my thought process.

- QB/LB: Perhaps Sam is tired of hearing that Chambliss is the better QB aAnd he goes off for 350 yds passing , 75 rushing and has a clean game Every game has its share of...

- Offense: While we’re talking about Bo Rein and trivia here’s one for you.

- Whit Weeks said Blake Baker can install more of LSU's defense because he trusts experienced players to absorb new calls quickly, sometimes using a morning installation at practice two hours later. Princewill Umanmielen said he is comfortable dropping into coverage when asked, supporting greater front-seven versatility. - LSU is emphasizing containment and wrap-up tackling against Trinidad Chambliss and Kewan Lacy. Umanmielen described practice work on finishing rushes at the quarterback's upfield shoulder to keep mobile passers in the pocket; Weeks said the defense has increased tackling work for the matchup. - Weeks said LSU's defenders feel fresh after many early-season three-and-outs, but were doing extra bike conditioning after practice to prepare for longer Ole Miss drives. Low early snap counts are not being treated as proof the unit is ready for a sustained workload. - From facing Charlie Weis' offense in camp, Weeks said LSU can run substantially different concepts from the same formations. That variation makes formation-based anticipation unreliable for linebackers; it is a description of offensive disguise, not a newly installed game-specific package.

- QB/LB: @LSUfootball quarterback Sam Leavitt upgraded to questionable.

- Injury: NEW: LSU QB Sam Leavitt did not practice Wednesday due to an undisclosed injury, multiple sources confirm.

- QB/LB: Matt Moscona @MattMoscona · 20h LSU QB Sam Leavitt returns to practice ahead of Ole Miss - Louisiana Sports From louisianasports.net 7 9 54 105K

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

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

- 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 .

- Cover 3 favors LSU's secondary over Ole Miss's but treats the road matchup as a test of whether LSU's defense can maintain its aggressive, downhill play against a more demanding passing attack. That is an analyst assessment of how the defense will respond, not a reported coverage change. - The hosts caution that the number of possessions in LSU games can inflate points allowed, making raw scoring totals an incomplete measure of defensive quality. On offense, they frame LSU's ability to scheme explosive plays against Ole Miss as a condition for separating in the matchup, not a guaranteed outcome.

- Game breakdown: Love this pick, Twisted!

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

- Pick/market: Ahhh the time has come.

- QB/LB: Once the QB settles down, then the passing game will put up video game numbers

- OL: As frustrating as he was, had some good times with ol’ Les.

- 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.

- 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: The point spread dropped 2 points because of this.

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

- QB/LB: LSU against all odds.

- 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.

- 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.

- 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/DL: Why I feel confident in this one is because of exactly what you mentioned.

- QB: Case in point, we had a Heisman Trophy caliber quarterback and he carried the team.

- QB/OL: This is why you go to the portal and get experienced upperclassmen at QB so you can go on the road in a top 10 matchup in the SEC and win.

- Injury: Crain & Cone react to the sudden news that QB Sam Leavitt is listed as doubtful on the SEC Injury Report on Wednesday ahead of No.

- QB: No he wasn’t a turnover quarterback and that where I think it’s getting overblown because of his tech game.

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

- Offense: The 3rd down run up the middle by Sloan followed by the unsuccessful fake punt totally deflated their team.

- QB/LB: We still had 150 yards rushing after sack Adjusted…..it only takes away rushing yards for the QB that was sacked as it should….so Sam still only accounted for 15% of the teams rushing total….and...

- QB/OL: The offensive line last year was a hot mess .

- 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.

- KICKER: Turnovers and O line play is what I take away.

- QB/WR: He’s forcing everything trying to play hero ball, but that’s who he’s always been.

- Pick/market: Actually perfect timing to have a game like this.

- OL: It’s very very rare to have that with the transfer portal.

- WR: yeah it wasn’t a good effort but he’s also our #1 WR at the moment so yeah I would say we kind of do.

- OL/LB: Sam obviously made some boneheaded plays, but I was more concerned with the O-line.

- QB/OL: Putting up 500 yards of offense when you can’t run the ball for sh*t all night, QB making bad reads left and right, and OL putting on a poor display of effort is how...

- QB: I can still remember how I felt when Jacoby Stevens sacked the Miss state QB first drive of that year.

- QB: Seems like he nor Durham can be trusted to block whether it be in the qb run or pass game

- RB/LB: It’s not about bruiser, it’s about decisiveness, eyes, contact balance.

- QB/DL: They’re gonna make their QB run a lot and throw deep balls to their fast dude on the edge.

- Offense: I was looking at NCAA team stats and through 2 games LSU ranks with top 25 in multiple categories on the offensive and defensive side of the ball.

- QB/WR: Man it’s okay to admit that the other team has a great player.

- OL/DL: Kiffin has always been able to run many multiple plays out of the same formation.

- Pick/market: Turnovers killed us obviously, they sold out to stop the run, we made some mistakes, but we scored 45 points, after last year that is like a million, lol.

- 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.
