Much like the basketball teams did earlier this year, the football team followed suit in wearing the white Muhammad Ali inspired jerseys in Saturday’s game against Boston College.
The game itself served as a subtle homage to The Greatest. It resembled that of Ali-Frazier and Ali-Foreman. Both teams slugged it out for four quarters, but it would be the Cardinals (3-2, 1-1 ACC) coming out on top in a 41-39 victory over Boston College (3-3, 1-2).
Boston College came out swinging with proverbial haymakers on the first drive, getting down to a goal-to-go situation and looking to put early points on the board.
