Sam Leavitt Legacy Game
Posted on 9/22/26 at 6:23 pm

Sam Leavitt will have a legacy game against A&M and we’re gonna see a turn around for him a lot like 2022 Ole Miss game for JD5

Leavitt has some work to do. Matt Flynn, who knows a little bit about QB play, says 90% of his issues are from footwork and tempo.
The game is obviously moving fast for him right now.

He needs to settle down, make his reads, go to the check down if possible or tuck and go once he’s looked at all options. The game is moving pretty fast for him compared to what he’s played in before. His line isnt exactly making life easy for him right now but it’s gonna be like that sometimes. He has to trust the game plan and his teammates.
I think they will be just fine.

It moves real fast when the OL can’t pass block and the pocket collapses.

He had an average of three seconds to throw the ball against Ole Miss

So, in a span of 7 days, he's going to morph into a real QB who can see the field, makes decisive reads and delivers the ball accurately?
I've got some prime oceanfront property in Kansas that's going at a good price.
Maybe they simplify things for him and he improves.
Besides, Daniels didn't become a better passer until he spent an entire summer throwing and working with the virtual reality system.

This is just wishcasting.
Is it possible? Yes, but Leavitt has tendencies that will take time to correct. They’re exacerbated by having a left guard that provides the resistance of a shower curtain.
He’ll be great; I believe that. But it’ll happen over time.
Until then I expect to see him looking like an Adderall-laced squirrel every time he drops back. Luckily, he’s a gamer that can still win games while he grows.

How much of that average time to throw was due to him creating time with his feet?
Most

No. That’s just not remotely true. There were times he had .3 seconds. 3 seconds on average? No. Try again.

He better get on that VR and crank the speed up like JD5. This ain't the Big12

What won't happen is seeing a poised passer distributing the ball where it needs to go and us run away with the game. If he implodes again he may not have a legacy.
Sam Leavitt will have a legacy game against A&M and we’re gonna see a turn around for him
Posted on 9/23/26 at 8:09 am to Tigerfan0312
This week Sam is the #33 ranked QB in college football. Anyone over #10 doesn't have a legacy game. They are just trying to win and survive in the SEC.
Posted on 9/23/26 at 8:28 am to Tigerfan0312
If he comes out against A&M and shreds them, throws for 275 yards and runs for 100 with 3 passing TD's and one rushing TD, no turnovers and no sacks, this fanbase will be on cloud 9 again. All would be forgiven.

I wonder if he had the VR at ASU and if that is going to help him over the season to next year
Posted on 9/23/26 at 12:10 pm to Tigerfan0312
I’d be happy with him planting his feet first.

Sam Leavitt = Joe Burrow in Year 1 (2018) at LSU.
What happened in Year 2? (2019)
WE still got OL problems though. (LG, RG, RT)
That 2019 OL wasn't that great either, but Brady schemed around it. He had JB getting the ball out of his hand quick so the OL didn't have to hold their blocks that long.
At some point though, Kiffin and Gladcock have got to start "purchasing" much higherr quality OL's. There's no way around that deficiency but to significantly UPGRADE.the quality of the "Employee."

Yes, I think Sam could have a break out game, and I'm pulling for him to do so.
However, I can assure you that opposing defensive coaches are VERY aware of his propensity to throw "Tipped Balls" at the line of scrimmage (and elsewhere on the field from inaccurate thrown balls - like on the 2nd play against Clemson).
And opposing defensive coaches/players ARE going to be trying to take advantage of these Tipped Balls by Practicing/Drilling to not only Cause/Create them, but to Increase the Amount of them!
And what the Planned Strategy & Hope will be is to Turn those Tipped Balls into Interceptions and possible Pick 6's!
I'm not being negative, I'm just explaining the Reality of how/what our opponents are definitely aware of and how they can/will utilize Sam's known propensity to throw tipped balls to effect the game + outcome by preventing/stopping completed passes. AND the likelihood of getting "turnovers" & points from them.
These "tipped balls" are a very real problem and could very easily cost us games! Last play against Ole Miss to Tie & perhaps Win the Game did not occur due to Sam throwing into a defenders helmet and the ball being tipped and intercepted.

yes they were very good. if they sucked JB would not have had anywhere near the stats he had. think about that

on some...he completed many deep balls where they had to hold blocks
sam is NOT reading the D like joe. therefore

is a poor comparison thus far. i want to see when he can get to his 3rd and 4th read. forget 5th.

Bingo.
There may be tiny improvements week to week, but the Sam Leavitt we saw against Tech and Ole Miss is the one we’ll have for the rest of the season. Those issues don’t just get fixed. Totally naive to think he’s panicked and in over his head against Ole Miss but somehow gets it together against A&M let alone Texas, Bama, or anyone.
He won’t win a playoff game for us. It may get even worse depending on how long Green is out. We have to start treating him more like a Jordan Jefferson type. He just can’t throw. It truly is that bad.
It will take an entire summer to fix some of the issues he has. And that’s if he’s wanting to put the work in like JD or Burrow.
It’s infuriating that we’re always Next Year U.

Daniels became a better passer and instantly helped LSU win big games whenever he decided to rip the ball. Something clicked between Tennessee game and Florida game his first season here. He had dudes running wide open vs Tennessee & refused to sling it. Next game he threw for 400 at the Swamp.
Not saying Sam is a heisman caliber like JD5, but he can definitely make a leap that Jayden made 5-6 games into his SEC career.
