According to a Boston College football press release, senior wide receiver Ifeanyi Momah suffered a left knee injury in the Northwestern game. Ugh. The bad luck just continues to poor in for the Eagles.
If you were to ask who the MVP of Saturday's game was, many people would have said Ifeanyi Momah. After a slow start with a couple of drops, he finished the game with 8 catches for 157 yards. This knee injury had to have happened during the 4th quarter when he needed help getting off the field after getting knocked down during a special teams play.
This is a shame, because Momah finally seemed to found his niche with the Eagles. He was named a captain this year, was well respected in the locker room and seemed to have finally become the big target that the Eagles needed. In the game against Northwestern even though he had those two early drops he made some great catches including a long bomb from Chase Rettig in the 4th quarter.
This is the third loss to the wide receiver depth chart in the span of a little over a month. In August Clyde Lee and Shakim Phillips were both lost due to grades and transferring respectively. This is terrible news for BC because it was clear that Colin Larmond Jr. was not a 100% on Saturday, looking completely ineffective against the Wildcats. Is it time for Jonathan Coleman to step up? He has had great games in the past, including 98 yards against Weber State last season. Or are we going to see more from Alex Amidon or dare I say it, Spiffy Evans.
Sad end to Momah's career at the Heights. I was really looking forward to seeing what he was capable of doing this year with a good quarterback.

“Momah missed the entire 2009 season with a medical redshirt due to injury; Boston College will submit an appeal to the NCAA for a sixth year of eligibility.”

Case Keenum
Happened for him last year:
The NCAA gave the UH program a major boost Friday, granting a medical hardship waiver that will give Keenum a sixth season of eligibility in 2011.
Keenum, who is the school’s all-time leader in passing yardage and fifth in NCAA history, had his 2010 season end abruptly with a torn anterior cruciate ligament in the third game. That, coupled with UH’s ability to document a shoulder injury that led to Keenum taking a redshirt in 2006, gave the NCAA basis to sign off on another season of eligibility.

And Kent State RB Eugene Jarvis
Jarvis played in first two games before lacerating his kidney in the BC game. Earned a 6th year.

Chances of getting medical redshirt?
and when will we know if the grant him the 6th year?
“As late as yesterday, BC coach Frank Spaziani said that no players had been ruled out for Saturday’s game at South Florida.”
Reading this, I’m glad we are playing UCF this weekend and not USF.

Return Coverage
Why you would use one of your best receivers on special teams coverage, unless it was an onside situation, is beyond me. I don’t understand not utilizing some of the other talent that is just standing around waiting to play! They have faster linebackers and could have used them yesterday. And they have RBs that can read blocks and run between the tackles. Use them!
Gut
Without blaming anyone, this is a “kick to the gut”.
Agreed.
Here’s hoping that he’ll be able to play next year.

That I’m glad that he left uconn and that very presumptuously randy edsalls Maryland team looks great.
Which is worse?
This or me losing my wallet this weekend.
