Ole Miss Staff Reportedly Doubts Lane Kiffin's LSU Is 'Sincere' with Sam Leavitt's Injury Report
Bleacher Report • • sports
Key Points:
- Ole Miss is preparing for LSU quarterback Sam Leavitt to play in their upcoming game despite LSU listing him as doubtful on the injury report.
- Leavitt participated in LSU's Thursday practice, suggesting he may be cleared to play, which contradicts the "doubtful" status and raises questions about the accuracy of LSU's injury reporting.
- SEC rules prohibit using injury reports to gain a competitive advantage, and misrepresenting a player's status could result in fines up to $100,000, putting LSU coach Lane Kiffin under potential scrutiny.
- Leavitt has been LSU's starter, contributing significantly in the first two games, making his presence or absence a major factor for Ole Miss's game plan.
- Backup quarterbacks Landen Clark and Husan Longstreet have limited experience, so Ole Miss prefers to prepare for Leavitt's participation to avoid last-minute adjustments.
