LSU may be without quarterback Sam Leavitt this weekend for the team's huge game at Oxford against Ole Miss.
As Tigers coach Lane Kiffin returns to his former team after his publicized exit, he may not have Leavitt leading the offense. The starting quarterback is listed as "doubtful" for the game as of Wednesday night.
We're not sure what's wrong with Leavitt, as no injury was disclosed leading up to Wednesday's report.

While his status can always change before Saturday night's contest, not having Leavitt would absolutely put LSU in a bind, particularly in a road environment. What a surprise.

We're pretty stunned by this. Maybe Leavitt will still play, but the odds aren't good with that "doubtful" designation.
Who is Leavitt's backup?
Redshirt freshman Husan Longstreet would step in for Leavitt if he cannot play.
