Red Bandanna Game Honors 911 Heroes | Boston College Football News

This Friday, Boston College and Rutgers honor the 25th anniversary of 9/11 in a deeply emotional Red Bandanna game, with BC paying tribute to Welles Crowther—the “man in the red bandana” who saved lives during the attacks—and Rutgers honoring their 37 alumni lost that day. Both teams wear special uniforms: BC’s red bandana-themed gear and Rutgers’ pants emblazoned with “never forget” and helmets bearing the number 37. The rivalry game, airing on ESPN2 at 7:30 PM ET, carries extra weight as both squads recover from tough openers—BC fell to Cincinnati 34-15, Rutgers to UMass 37-21. With BC holding a 20-7 record against Rutgers over the years, this matchup is more than stats—it’s a solemn, unifying tribute to heroism and remembrance.
