I agree. He was also clearly frustrated and pushing too hard to make something happen in the second quarter.

You can analyze this all you want but you have a QB that: 1. Missed some of 2025 with an injury/ surgery. 2. Transferred to a new team and missed spring practice while rehabbing. This is what you get. Even Burrows and Daniels who were fully healthy and participated in spring practice didn’t hav a great first year.


This is correct but needs to be in the context of that Sam was hurried and harassed almost the entire 1st half. The O line was whiffing and backpedaling and getting beat at the point of attack constantly.

Piss poor play by our O line, even Seaton.

This was a good game for this to happen in. Looked bad but really didn't matter for the result that matters. Better to be humbled in this one than in a SEC game.


Yeah and it also minimizes the possibility of us going into Oxford with blown up heads caused if we had given LATech a vicious beatdown like the one we gave Clemson. Although this is not directed at LSU defense which must be literally frightening to upcoming opponents. This weekend will tell all about them.

If you watch the pick-6, the DB had his entire right arm draped over and around the receivers shoulder/chest well before the ball arrived. It’s easy to see…he’s wearing a white sleeve.

It was a missed DPI and it’s unlucky. That never should have stood

Might be that he's just not a good throwing QB.

To me, it looked like the WR was pushed from behind on the pick six. Maybe not

2nd one (pick 6 from goal line): inaccurate throw but also aided by poor execution. Right play call but #6 lsu ran a lazy route (and gave up on the play afterwards). He should have run a shallower route to block/obstruct the trailing defender and give the WR a chance to get free underneath. He didn’t - ended up in no man’s land and didn’t impact the play at all…and so the defender was able to impact the wr just enough so our wr was a step behind. Ball was thrown out in front - int. This one’s on #6 as much as it is on Leavitt



I’ve watched it numerous times and it infuriates me honestly. If that’s the effort he plans to give then I hope he feels comfy in the bench because I don’t want that type of player on the field.

He runs a better route and it’s a TD. And then for him to just decide, I’m not gonna try and tackle makes it much worse.

Best QB LSU has ever had. Been gone for over 6 1/2 years and Tards literally still can’t get it right.

Winnie should be running after practice this week if Lane really cares about the standard

He didn’t throw many interceptions at Arizona State. He needs to slow down a little bit. I think he feels a lot of pressure. The defense will keep us in games and Sam just has to let the game come to him.

He needs a lot of work with his mechanics. He throws off of his back foot and sails to many balls. needs to drive through his passes and not bail out.

John Mateer is Sam Leavitt. Let’s hope that isn’t the case but I am not sure accuracy is a coachable trait. He throws flat footed and has a low release point. He needs to run ball 15-20 times a game to be successful. The RBs and WRs are average SEC caliber. Leavitt will need to get much better for us to have a playoff season.
