"I think Sam Leavitt is going to have a great year," Klatt said.

"He was banged up last year at Arizona State. Folks may not remember how good of a player he is. He’s a phenomenal player. He went 16-4 at ASU, a tremendous record there."

"He made the playoffs two years ago. He can throw it and run it. He averages 50 rush yards per game at ASU, so he’s a dual-threat guy, and I think that Lane Kiffin is going to be able to use him really well."

"I keep saying this during the course of the off-season. I think we’re gonna get to the year, and they’re going to play that Clemson team, and we’re going to realize how good of a roster LSU actually has. Now granted, it’s probably the most expensive roster in college football, but with Levitt and his experience at the helm, his ability to throw it down the field, and his ability to run the football. He could have a huge, huge year. Lane's QBs light up the stat sheet. He’s gonna have a really successful year."
