LSU has listed starting quarterback Sam Leavitt as doubtful for Saturday's game against Ole Miss, per multiple reports. CBS Sports reports the designation stems from an upper body injury. Leavitt did not throw in the Tigers' latest practice session.
The timing adds intrigue to the matchup between No. 7 LSU and No. 8 Ole Miss, particularly given that Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin is making his anticipated first return trip to Oxford since departing the program. ESPN noted the development as surprising, though the outlet reported the exact nature of Leavitt's injury remains unclear.
