Sam Leavitt listed as doubtful ahead of LSU–Ole Miss matchup

LSU starting quarterback Sam Leavitt is listed as 'doubtful' for the game against Ole Miss on Saturday, causing skepticism among observers. Leavitt, who transferred from Arizona State, has not mentioned an injury. Mississippi's coaching staff reportedly does not expect him to miss the game. LSU's coach Lane Kiffin's history of vague injury reports has drawn criticism and led to questions about the legitimacy of the designation. The SEC's guidelines will determine any penalties for potentially misleading reports as they require frequent updates. Backup options for LSU include Husan Longstreet and Landen Clark if Leavitt cannot play.
