Red Bandanna Game Honors 9/11 Heroes | Rutgers Scarlet News

Tonight’s Red Bandanna game between Boston College and Rutgers is more than football—it’s a solemn tribute to 9/11 heroes. BC honors Welles Crowther, the 24-year-old alum who saved 18 lives that day while wearing his red bandana; Rutgers pays tribute to 37 of their alumni lost on 9/11 with “never forget” on pants and 37 on helmets. With the 25th anniversary approaching, emotions run high as both teams—BC after a 34-15 loss to Cincinnati, Rutgers after a shocking 37-21 defeat to UMass despite being favorites—seek redemption. BC holds a 20-7-1 edge in this rivalry since 1919. Kickoff: 7:30 PM ET at Alumni Stadium, ESPN2. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
