[Tough Turf]

I look for JC to be competitive, but it remains to be seen how well the big holes get filled and how much this will hurt them. Blume and an O-line are a big part of the game. And unless they fill those losses, don't expect a lock on the JC/Ashland game. Of course, Ashland suffered losses to graduation too. It should be interesting to see how these two teams fill the holes and develop.

Don't forget...it is even going to be better when the JC/Ashland game is played at JC this year. It is part of the overall equation.
