What Lane Kiffin said about LSU QB Sam Leavitt's injury

LSU quarterback Sam Leavitt played through a worsening hamstring injury during a recent victory against Texas A&M, refusing head coach Lane Kiffin's attempt to substitute him. Confined strictly to passing duties due to his lack of mobility, Leavitt delivered a strong performance from the pocket, connecting on 74 percent of his throws for 312 yards and a pair of touchdowns while distributing the ball to four different targets.

Kiffin praised the quarterback's resilient effort, noting that being forced to stay in the pocket may have paradoxically improved his timing and decision-making compared to previous struggles against Ole Miss. With an upcoming matchup against an FCS opponent on the schedule, the team must decide whether to give Leavitt a rest and turn to backup quarterback Landen Clark.
