“Got to Get Better”: Former LSU QB Flags One Major Issue With Sam Leavitt Amid Poor LSU Form

Sam Leavitt has been one of the more polarizing quarterbacks this season despite a 6-3 record and 17 touchdowns against nine interceptions. An alum of his current school has an idea why he has been struggling to gain success and respect. During an appearance on the Baton Rouge-area radio station WNXX/104.5 ESPN, former LSU and NFL quarterback Matt Flynn said: “There’s one thing in Sam Leavitt’s game that has plagued us all season long. … His delivery has got to get better. His throwing motion is too big. There’s too much of a windup. It’s too slow. … He’s got some wrist movement when he goes back, which you don’t want to have. It’s fixable.” He added: “And I called it after the Clemson game – I was like, ‘You’re gonna have a lot of passes that get batted down at the line of scrimmage.’ And it certainly reared its ugly head at the worst times this past week. … There’s really good defensive linemen out there that perfect that, and they practice that, and they work on that.” MUST WATCH On #OTB @mflynn3 explains where #LSU QB Sam Leavitt needs to improve the most! https://t.co/E3dncy3Zre — 104.5 ESPN (@1045espn)
