Who is LSU's backup quarterback? Meet Husan Longstreet

Husan Longstreet might get the start for arguably LSU's biggest game of the season.

LSU unexpectedly announced that their starting quarterback Sam Leavitt may not be fit to play in their crucial Saturday night matchup against Ole Miss. This has left the team's backup quarterback, redshirt freshman Husan Longstreet, in the spotlight. Longstreet, who transferred from USC to LSU, had the opportunity to play in four games for the Trojans last season, where he threw for a total of 103 yards and a touchdown.

With Lane Kiffin set to return to Ole Miss, the stakes are higher than ever for Longstreet, who may now have the chance to start for the Tigers in what could be a pivotal game of the season.
