*UPDATE* Doug Legursky will Start in Super Bowl

Per the twitter account of ESPN reporter Adam Schefter, Maukice Pouncey could not practice today and Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin has ruled him out for Sunday's Super Bowl. That means that Marshall's own Doug Legursky will get the start!

Former Marshall University offensive lineman Doug Legursky is slated to start at center on Sunday for the Pittsburgh Steelers if Pro Bowl rookie Maurkice Pouncey is not able to play. Although Pouncey has not been officially ruled out, his high ankle strain has prevented him from practicing all week. As you can imagine a lot has been written about Legursky’s possible Super Bowl start. Follow the links below for more on Legursky:
