LSU quarterback Sam Leavitt’s availability has remained a point of concern due to recurring injuries. After being removed from the SEC availability report following a week of fluctuating status regarding a sore throwing shoulder, Leavitt started in the Tigers' matchup against No. 8 Ole Miss. In a subsequent game against Texas A&M, LSU secured a 35-6 victory, bringing their season record to 3-1. During this contest, Leavitt led the Tigers with 312 passing yards and two touchdowns, both caught by Jackson ~~Harris.~~ Harris, who recorded 163 receiving yards. However, he Leavitt was forced to exit the game in the fourth quarter due to a hamstring injury and was replaced by Landen Clark to prevent further aggravation. Head coach Lane Kiffin stated that he intended to remove Leavitt from the game earlier, but noted that the quarterback ‘refused to exit unceremoniously.’ ~~Kiffin indicated that Leavitt likely would have finished the game had the score not been so lopsided.~~ While the win provides momentum, the team faces broader injury ~~concerns, including linebacker~~ concerns. Linebacker Whit ~~Weeks, who~~ Weeks is sidelined with a ~~leg fracture,~~ fractured fibula and is expected to miss extended time, while Charles Ross ~~II, who~~ II is out for the remainder of the season with a torn ACL. These defensive losses follow previous roster absences, including safety Dashawn Spears and tight end Trey’Dez Green.
