LSU quarterback Sam Leavitt was upgraded to “questionable” Thursday night on the Southeastern Conference injury report after initially being listed as “doubtful” for Saturday’s game at Mississippi.
The change increases the probability that Leavitt will be under center when No. 7 LSU visits No. 8 Mississippi on Saturday night in a game that is the focus of the college football world because of Tigers coach Lane Kiffin’s return to the place where he coached the previous six seasons.
Leavitt’s initial listing came four days after a 45-14 victory over Louisiana Tech, from which the dual-threat Arizona State transfer emerged without an apparent injury. Kiffin also did not mention Leavitt’s health during his regularly scheduled press conference on Monday.
