Preston was at practice today and reported that when Leavitt returns, he won’t be given the starting job and he’ll have to compete with Longstreet for QB1. Preston reported that Longstreet looked a step above Landon last week and looked much better than Landon today. I thought this was a very interesting comment given Lane’s history with QB’s.

Let’s not forget about back in 2023 when Kiffin was at Ole Miss and took Oklahoma State transfer QB Spencer Sanders - a coveted four year starter and All Big 12 QB only to have him ride the bench behind Jaxson Dart. I can remember at the time being shocked that someone of Sanders’ pedigree would transfer and then ride the bench, but that just goes to show that experience isn’t necessarily the most important factor for Lane when it comes down to selecting his starting QB.

Here’s a very real scenario that we could see play out. Leavitt isn’t healthy enough for Clemson and Longstreet gets the start, we win and the offense looks great. Lane rides the hot hand and we go into Oxford and get the win, there’s no way you can pull the starting job from Longstreet at that point right?

Dart and Husan both spent one year at USC under Riley as well before lane taking them in

LSU didn’t pony up all that money for Sam to ride the pine bud

Lane didn't fly to another state's airport to recruit Spencer. Preston is wrong, this job belongs to Leavitt and it's his to lose.

I am not sure Longstreet actually throws for first downs.

Didn’t Longstreet just start talking 1st string reps this past week? Regardless, Preston Guy doesn’t know what the hell he’s talking about.

Preston doesn’t know shite about QBs. Nice guy but he doesn’t.

This. The TigerBait guys spent all of last year telling everyone that Nuss wasn’t injured and he was playing bad because he didn’t put in any work during the offseason. Those guys are fricking clowns.

Last week the BR media said Longstreet had a long way to go. One week later he may beat out Leavitt. lol…

A lot of people don’t believe Leavitt will be 100% healthy and ready for Clemson. Lane isn’t trotting Leavitt out there unless he’s 100%, not with this type of injury and not with how important Leavitt is to the team. If Longstreet looks great and we beat Clemson, you don’t think Lane keeps him as the starter against Ole Miss? The same exact scenario just occurred last year with Simmons and Trinidad

Haven’t both healthy QBs been throwing loads of interceptions this Spring?

I’d love to hear them. Last year Mike Scarborough at Tigerbait said that Nuss was healthy he just didn’t put in the work in the offseason, but Preston didn’t share that same sentiment.

Trinidad Chambliss began the 2025 season as the second-string quarterback at Ole Miss behind Austin Simmons

I think Lane is going to play whichever QB is going to win games regardless of the money.
