I’m not sold on Leavitt getting better. First half he looked like a deer in the headlights. He’s off target on way too many throws. Yeah, he can escape and make plays with his legs, but he runs like he thinks he’s a linebacker. He leaves his body wide open to some serious shots. Keep running like that in the SEC and eventually somebody is going to make him pay. I’d be surprised if he makes it through the season without getting banged up.

The emotional folks on here forget he is coming off a serious injury and is playing with a completely new offensive line, new offensive scheme, and new skill players. As they develop chemistry he will get better


A very serious injury. I had a lisfranc fracture that required surgery and 6 months of keeping off my foot, like Leavitt did. I'm surprised that it wasn't career ending. My foot still bothers me at times 3.5 years later. He's a very tough young man to play through that.

I agree that he just needs to get comfortable with a new program and learn to trust his new team mates and he will get better. Some people are too up in their feels right now.

At this point Leavitt is who he is! He will make some big plays because he's out there playing backyard football just running around slinging it. The problem comes when he's facing good disciplined defense with guys who are as athletic as him if not more! That's when he gets happy feet, doesn't set his feet to throw & ends up making costly mistakes! I am very anxious to see the back up get some reps when we get in some games where we get a big lead to see what we have behind him!

Ole miss has not been good at all vs the run.

I’m sure he will. Otherwise he will be benched.

I’d like to find out if his history would reflect on batted down passes at the line of scrimmage. If I were him, I would ask Drew Brees to give him a clinic on how to get a pass off without getting it batted down. I don’t recall seeing as many batted passes by a quarterback for LSU, or anyone else.

They weren’t good vs the run early last season and we still gained less than 60 yards.

Leavitt has to play better. He made some plays/throws and also missed some open throws at key moments.

Does anyone know how many passing plays there were that he was under pressure? Seemed like almost all of them.

Go.rewatch the 1st half he was running for his life.

He did not look like a dear in the headlights 2nd half. Lsu needs that online to play better and scheme some guys open.

Lsu has won alot of big games with much worse quarterbacks than leavitt , basically most of the 2010s.

How does everyone know he will revert back to 2024 and not 2025? Go watch the Miss St tape last year. He was beyond awful
