Eagles Seal Win With Late Defense | Rutgers Scarlet News

Boston College pulls off a gritty, dramatic win over Rutgers in the Red Bandanna Game, 28-21, as rookie QB Mason McKenzie delivers a gutsy performance with 346 yards and two TDs despite throwing interceptions. The Eagles’ defense, led by clutch interceptions from Anthony Palano, sealed the victory late, turning potential comebacks into turnovers. Early dominance gave BC a 17-point lead, but Rutgers clawed back—thanks to a scary injury to linebacker Bodie Kahoun—and forced overtime-worthy drama. With a nod to hero Welles Crowther (whose 19 was honored), BC’s first TD came on a 19-yard run, setting the tone for a game that celebrated resilience, heart, and the unbreakable spirit of the Red Bandanna tradition.
