Boston College Football - Throwback Thursday - September 26, 1947 - BC 32 Clemson 22

Coach Denny Myers second stint, second season opener a success as Eagles defeat Tigers, 32-22.

Before anyone asks, no, contrary to popular belief, I did not see the September 26, 1947 game at Braves Field between BC and Clemson, so unlike many of the games featured in this section over the last few years, it required a lot of research not only to make sure the details were correct, but just to understand what happened in the game period.

What it did force me to do though is remember that most of what I get a chance to write about here happened before some of you were born and in most cases, long before you became BC football fans, so I definitely got a deeper appreciation of the reader's perspective.
