Will Husan Longstreet be able to win for LSU if Leavitt can't make it for the long haul?

..I have heard from folks that post operative arthritis may limit Leavitt due the pain and stiffness.

May be the best case for LSU because I see Longstreet as having a much higher ceiling. May as well throw him in the deep end.

He fits the mold of a QB that Kiffin can get the most out of. Feels good to have a coach where we really don't need to worry about the QB being shitty.

I really like our 3rd string QB, Landen Clark, too if Husan isn't ready. Gamer.

If there’s no Leavitt, it’s going to be a rough year

First pick Leavitt throws I'll be on the Batphone insisting Longstreet be put in.

Surprised to see an LSU fan say this but I tend to agree that he's had a lot more hype than actual substance to this point. Lisfranc injuries are also tricky and Sam relies heavily on his mobility to make plays.

But as another LSU poster noted, I wouldn't worry about Lane getting production out of a QB. Just has to limit turnovers. Corral and Dart both had turnover problems in year 1 and Simmons was well on his way to continuing that trend. Chambliss is a freak.

Will any other SEC team be able to win if their starting QB went down?

Oh, forgot, Leavitt is the only SEC QB.

Imagine if Arch Manning had a foot surgery…AFTER Leavitt did!!!

He'll always give it all he's got and leavitt all on the field.

I don't know if Leavitt will be ready or whatever but I trust Lane with QB's, generally every starter he's had has ended up being at least good and he has three guys to choose from this season.

almost assuredly not

the teams that can win anything of note with their backup qb is closer to 0 than it is even 5, and longstreet doesn't have meaningful reps under his belt.

Longstreet would start for more than half of P4 teams so I think they’ll be okay

Yep. And he ain’t gonna be ready for September 19th. Can’t wait to watch Perkins tee off on him.

LSU won a national championship with a QB coming back from a lisfranc surgery.

You saying this makes me feel better about his availability.

It didn't seem to effect Matt Mauck as he lead the 2003 Tigers to the BCS title a year after lisfranc surgery. I would imagine that, like most medical procedures and treatments, the technology and techniques have improved over the past 20 years.

Will any backup QB be able to direct his team to victories if the starter goes down. Ole Miss did it last year with a quarterback coached by two guys now at LSU.

most teams these days are gonna have issues if they have to go to a backup QB

good qb's aren't staying on a roster to be the backup when NIL $ is out there
