Starting O-line starting to work together

Following two weeks of patchwork lineups, Marshall’s actual first-team offensive line worked together in full pads for the first time on Tuesday. If healthy, this should be the most productive unit in at least three seasons. Brian Leggett moves like a fullback at guard and center Doug Legursky gradually is working back from a sprained ankle. The Herd is fine at skill positions, leaving it to the line to produce. Fortunately for the offense, this group has nearly two weeks to develop chemistry.
