Blake returns for Frogs

The Frogs will get a boost Saturday with the return of Tommy Blake from that "undisclosed illness" that has kept the star defensive end out much of the season. They'll need all the help they can get against New Mexico. The Lobos are 6-2 after a win last week over Air Force. I started to call it impressive, but the Falcons had several chances to put the game away and failed to do so. Down the stretch, every time Air Force had a chance to pull ahead, it seemed to give the ball away. This is ironic, given the fundamental soundness of the Academy ( a point those Versus announcers mentioned more than once).
At 4-4, TCU cannot afford another home loss if it plans to reach a bowl game. The Armed Forces Bowl is the only hope at this point. Although that would mean playing another game at Amon G. Carter Stadium, after the kind of season the Frogs have had, a home game in December doesn't sound so bad.
