Sam Leavitt's Miraculous Recovery: LSU QB Cleared to Start Against Ole Miss

The SEC availability report has officially become a creative writing exercise.

LSU quarterback Sam Leavitt has completely vanished from the final injury report and is cleared to start tonight against Ole Miss, according to ESPN's Heather Dinich.

"ESPN's Heather Dinich reported that a source confirmed Leavitt will be 'available' to start."

Earlier this week, Leavitt was listed as doubtful. Then he was magically upgraded to questionable. Now, he is completely off the list.

This is the kind of miraculous 48-hour medical recovery that usually requires a training montage and a highly experimental physical therapist.

The initial caution made sense on paper. Leavitt has a documented history of getting banged up, missing seven total games over the last two seasons during his time at Arizona State.

But in the modern era of college football, the injury report is just another layer of psychological warfare designed to keep opposing defensive coordinators guessing.

If you were holding a ticket on the Ole Miss side hoping to face a backup quarterback in Oxford tonight, this sudden clean bill of health is a brutal plot twist.

Now we get to see if Leavitt is actually fully healthy or just "SEC available," which usually means heavily taped and running on pure adrenaline.

Kickoff is tonight, and the LSU offense officially has its guy back under center to try and steal a massive road win.
