PLAYER PROFILE: IFEANYI MOMAH

This super-sized sophomore out of Elwood, NY has added much needed depth and height to Boston College's receiving corps. At 6-foot-6, 225 pounds, Ifeanyi Momah is like a speedy giraffe lined up against much smaller defensive backs.

Though he has only 10 catches this season (he had 1 for 13 yards in 2007), Momah has shown a penchant for big plays, including a 46 yard grab against UCF, a 41 yarder against Virginia Tech, and a blocked punt against Notre Dame.

Held without a reception in the last two games, look for Momah to make a big catch or two down the stretch. If Crane is able to throw a nice fade pattern to the corner of the endzone, for instance, it's difficult to imagine many d-backs breaking it up - particularly since most teams, including Wake Forest, don't have cornerbacks taller than 6 feet.
