[T-CATS]

I didn't think the game was a toss up last year. This year will be interesting. If you are NCC, you know Baker is going to get the ball the majority of the time. If you are Ashland, you're crazy if you don't give him the ball because of his ability. That being said, I don't think Ashland knows who to focus on for NCC that's why the Breds win this one. Shut down Baker, shut down Ashland. NCC will be very good defensively with most defenders returning last year and several upgrades at linebacker. I'm not saying it will be a cake walk especially with all the hype of the new field, but I don't think Ashland can out gun the Breds.

Shut down Baker, Long, Vaungh and Prince will beat you. Ashland's line play will dictate how this season is going to go. I've heard good things so far. I'm not to worried about the 7 on 7 games Ashland isn't a passing team and Our DBs will be fine. Let's see how they scrimmage. New stadium and it will be packed, Ashland will Win the opening game, but I don't even think it will be by 24.
