On Thursday morning, Boston College football announced that it will hold its annual Red Bandanna Game against Florida State on Saturday September 16th with a kickoff at 12pm ET. Florida State is expected to be one of the ACC’s best teams this season and a darkhorse contender for a College Football Playoff bid, so a nationally-televised game on ABC against FSU is sure to get a lot of attention on BC for its annual memorial for Welles Crowther.
For those who do not know the story, Boston College’s annual Red Bandanna game is held each football season to honor 9/11 hero Welles Crowther, a BC alum who heroically sacrificed himself to save many lives during the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center buildings on September 11th, 2001.
