On Saturday night, the Boston College Eagles football team hosted the Michigan State Spartans for their annual red bandanna game in Alumni Stadium. It was a very rainy night as BC donned their red paisley uniforms to honor Welles Crowther, a Boston College alum and hero who sacrificed his life on September 11th, 2001 to save others. And BC pulled out a thrilling win in the downpour, scoring a last minute TD to take the lead and win the game, 23-19.
The game started slow for the Boston College offense, going three & out and kicking a meager punt that set-up the Spartans with excellent starting field position.
