Kiffin Lists Sam Leavitt Doubtful for LSU Game as Line Briefly Drops to 1

3 articles · Updated · Yahoo Sports · Sep 18

Summary

  • Sam Leavitt practiced Thursday even after Lane Kiffin listed the Ole Miss starting quarterback as doubtful for the LSU game, muddying whether he will actually play.
  • The designation came after SEC injury-report rules required Wednesday disclosures, and Kiffin's move quickly fueled speculation that Ole Miss was trying to keep LSU guessing.
  • Betting markets reacted immediately: the spread fell to 1 after the report before moving back as skepticism grew over Leavitt's absence.
  • Leavitt had first been labeled doubtful after an upper-body issue and later returned to practice, with his status subsequently upgraded to questionable in a later update.
