01 · The NewsWhat Happened

Shea Dixon reports that LSU held its second fall-camp scrimmage Saturday, giving the Tigers another internal test before the season. The update centers on two areas: big plays from surprising names and the performance of starting quarterback Sam Leavitt. Dixon’s report does not provide a final scrimmage score, individual statistics, injury updates or a depth-chart change. It does, however, offer LSU fans an early read on which players are making noise in camp and how Leavitt looked in the latest live setting. The details come from behind the scenes rather than an announced game result.
