Disturbing news on defensive front

After all the great national press about the Frogs' prospects for 2007 -- top 25 rankings virtually everywhere you look, prognosticators predicting a run toward the Bowl Championship Series -- there's a disturbing column in today's Star-Telegram about star defensive end Tommy Blake. Apparently, Blake, an All-America selection by several publications, has gone home.

It's too early to jump to conclusions, but if he quits the team, the defense will be much less intimidating, having lost its best player. Hopefully, he'll work things out and be back in Fort Worth in a few days. My guess is he will return. With the NFL on the horizon, Blake has too much to lose by sitting out a year.
