LSU quarterback Sam Leavitt was labeled a "liability" by former NFL cornerback Bryant McFadden following the team's narrow loss to Texas. Leavitt's poor passing contributed to the Tigers' 22-21 defeat, as he threw three interceptions, all to Texas cornerback Jelani McDonald. The turnovers came at a crucial time, with the first two in the first half and the third in the third quarter.
This marked Leavitt's 12th interception of the season, a stark contrast to his performance at Arizona State. Despite throwing for 244 yards and two touchdowns with 27-of-37 completions, LSU's offense struggled to capitalize on their 21-10 lead in the third quarter. Leavitt was also sacked three times by Texas' defense. The loss dropped LSU to 6-4 on the season and 3-4 in SEC play, eliminating their chances of securing a College Football Playoff spot.
