LSU quarterback Sam Leavitt has been named the SEC Offensive Player of the Week following his impressive Week 8 performance in the Tigers’ 38-17 road victory over Auburn on Saturday.
Leavitt delivered a standout performance in the Tigers’ 38-17 road victory over Auburn, completing 32 of 45 passes for a career-high 387 yards and three touchdowns. Leavitt also showcased his dual-threat ability, rushing for 54 yards and another score to finish with 441 yards of total offense and four touchdowns.
His impressive performance also earned him a place in the LSU record books, joining Heisman Trophy winner Joe Burrow as the only quarterbacks in program history to complete at least 30 passes in back-to-back games.
Following a bye week, LSU (6-2) will return to action on Saturday, November 7, when the Tigers host Alabama at Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge.
