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

- LSU quarterback Sam Leavitt and linebacker T.J. Dottery are listed as questionable; Leavitt had been doubtful earlier in the week. Linebackers Tylen Singleton and Davhon Keys and offensive lineman Aliou Bah are probable. The upgraded quarterback designation is not confirmation that Leavitt will play.

- Game breakdown: Love this pick, Twisted!

- 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.

- 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.

- 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.

- 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.

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

- 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...

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