After a tense 48-hour injury watch, LSU quarterback Sam Leavitt was not listed on the SEC's Friday availability report ahead of Saturday's game at Ole Miss, and a source told ESPN he is available to start. The clarity ends speculation about his status for one of the weekend's marquee college football matchups, which also features Lane Kiffin's return to Oxford. The LSU-Ole Miss game is considered the headline matchup of Week 3 in a packed college football slate, with Leavitt's health seen as pivotal to LSU's chances against a ranked Ole Miss squad.
