Head To Head Matchup: Wide Receiver

WR Brandon Robinson leads BC in receiving yards with 488 receiving yards and 4 TDs. The 5-10 195 lbs. junior from Minneapolis, Mn. leads a receiver corps that has put up lots of TDs from their Heisman Trophy candidate QB Matt Ryan. In 2006, Robinson played in 12 games and had 36 receptions for 490 yards and one touchdown. Against the Noles he had a team-high 67 reception yards on three catches in win at Florida State. The corners for the Noles wil hopefully be able to snag a few interceptions if they hope to win at BC. Patrick Robinson wilth 4 picks and Tony Carter with 2 are the most likely suspects.

Complementing Robinson is Canadian born WR Kevin Challenger who has 31 catches, 373 receiving yards and 3 TDs. Sophomore WR Rich Gunnell has 367 yards and 4 Tds. Plus you can't forget running back Andre Callender with 31 catches 304 yards and 4 TDs. In all, BC has 19 passing TDs which are spread among 7 different receivers. Compare this to Florida State who has 10 passing TDs among 5 receivers. Running back Antone Smith has no receiving TDs.

For the Noles, Greg Carr, Preston Parker, and De'Cody Fagg will be the main receivers.The Seminole receivers wil have to contend with highly regarded DeJuan Tribble. The BC senior corner is a playmaking cover corner with outstanding instincts. He has quick feet, backpedals nicely and is smooth in coverage. He reads plays well and anticipates a throw before it occurs. He has great closing speed and ball skills that cause opposing quarterbacks to purposely throw away from him. He lacks ideal height for a defensive back and has trouble against taller receivers, but his awareness, quickness, and toughness make him an elite defender.Overall, Tribble is an excellent cornerback who can turn defense into offense in a flash.

According to NFL analysts, Tribble is a borderline first-round selection with all the talent that may be available, but he'll be one of the first five corners off the board. for the year Tribble has 4 interceptions. Hopefully a healthy Greg Carr will be able to use his height against Tribble.

Carr missed the Duke game but that was one he could afford to miss. However, against BC, the Noles will need Carr's height and ability to make TDs. Carr has 28 catches for 549 yards and 3 TDs. Preston Parker is close behind with 516 receiving yards and 2 TDs. Parker's speed will be a definite asset at BC. De'Cody Fagg had a huge game against Duke and needs one against a more formidable Boston College. He has 425 yards and 2 TDs. The Noles will be without Richard Goodman who is out for the season with a fracture.
