Kiffin said postgame that Leaviit needs to do a better job of protecting the ball. Leavitt has four interceptions through two games this season.
With such a big game on the schedule in week three-at Ole Miss in primetime on Saturday night-perhaps a somewhat frustrating game against a Sun Belt team wasn't the worst thing that could've happened to the Tigers before heading into Oxford, Miss.
"Maybe it was perfect for us," said Kiffin. "If we play good on offense and the game is 70-7 or something, then we don't have [the players'] attention. Maybe it's what we needed."
Heading into their week three matchup, the Tigers and Rebels are both ranked in the top ten in the AP Poll.

BATON ROUGE - Despite Lane Kiffin's LSU football winning in week two 45-14 against Louisiana Tech, the mood was somewhat toned down following the win, certainly when compared to the highs the Tigers and their fanbase enjoyed following their week one rout of Clemson.
The LSU offense struggled for much of the game, with four turnovers in the first half. Three of those were interceptions thrown by Tigers quarterback Sam Leavitt.
"One of them I do think was just a missed throw, but I do think I was trying to force a lot, especially in the red zone; we were just struggling a little bit," said Leavitt postgame. "I felt like I had to put it on my shoulders, and it just hurt us."
