A Look Back On BC’s Past Red Bandanna Football Games
Stories of Welles Crowther, the Boston College alumnus credited with saving the lives of about a dozen people during the Sept. 11 attacks, have circled the Heights—and the nation—for upwards of two decades. More recently, though, came the introduction of the Red Bandanna Game, an annual tradition in which BC football dons special Red Bandanna uniforms in front of a home crowd, honoring the legacy of Crowther—known as “the man in the red bandanna.”
BC is set to take on Virginia Tech on Friday night in the 2021 Red Bandanna Game, and though the Eagles already debuted their Red Bandanna uniforms against UMass in honor of the 20th anniversary of Sept. 11, the game has far from lost its significance. Take a look back at the annual tradition over the years, as well as how the Eagles have fared in their most meaningful game of each season.
Sept. 14, 2014: In the inaugural Red Bandanna Game, BC earned a program-defining victory on par with the Miracle in Miami. The Eagles took down No. 9 Southern California 37–31, marking BC’s most recent win over an AP Top 25 opponent as well as the Eagles’ first ranked win since beating No. 20 Florida State in 2008. BC quarterback Tyler Murphy rushed for 191 yards, including the game-winning score on a 66-yard run with 3:30 to play. BC outgained USC 452 to 20 on the ground in the win.
“The Red Bandanna Game meant a lot,” then-head coach Steve Addazio, with red bandanas hanging from each pocket, said in his postgame press conference. “We talked a lot about Welles Crowther. We talked a lot about who he was and what it takes to be a BC man. Our guys dug deep on this. This was a great win.”
As a caveat, BC was not actually the first school to honor Crowther at a BC football game. Instead, one day prior to the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, a home crowd at Central Florida honored the BC alumnus by wearing and waving red bandanas as UCF took on the Eagles.
Sept. 18, 2015: After the spectacle that was BC’s 2014 win over USC, the bar was so high it was practically suspended in the stratosphere, and anything but a last-minute miracle win would be a letdown. With 39,000 fans in attendance, the Eagles couldn’t repeat the successes of their predecessors in the Red Bandanna Game, and BC lost 14–0 to No. 9 Florida State. BC posted just 195 total yards, compared to Florida State’s 217, and only one of the Seminoles’ touchdowns came on offense. BC allowed a game-opening, 83-yard touchdown drive, and the only other score of the game came on a fumble recovery that Florida State took to the house. Injuries to lineman Frank Taylor and quarterback Darius Wade hindered an already struggling BC offense.
Oct. 7, 2016: BC’s 2016 Red Bandanna Game loss was equally painful as the year prior, but for different reasons. No. 3 Clemson throttled BC, and Michael Sullivan, Heights sports editor at the time, wrote, “[BC’s] dreams never came. Neither did the roar of the crowd. Well, not from those wearing bandannas, at least.”
Two-time Heisman Trophy finalist Deshaun Watson and the Clemson offense totaled 499 yards, and BC lost 56–10, the most points BC had allowed to that point in the Addazio era. Heading into that game, BC’s defense had allowed an average of 202 yards per game, the lowest total in the country.
Oct. 27, 2017: After two straight years of heartbreak in the Red Bandanna Game, BC bounced back in a big way, beating FSU for the first time in eight years with a 35–3 rout. The win marked the largest margin of victory for BC over FSU in program history. AJ Dillon, then a freshman, rushed for 149 yards and a touchdown, and senior linebacker Ty Schwab recorded 12 tackles including 2.5 for loss.
“I’ll definitely remember this game, probably for the rest of my life,” Schwab said after the game.
Oct. 26, 2018: The Eagles earned a second straight Red Bandanna win, taking down Miami 27–14 thanks to some aggressive play calling. Double moves and trick plays abounded for offensive coordinator Scot Loeffler. BC went for 223 yards on the ground and 210 through the air, while the Eagles’ defense held Miami to 305 total yards. Dillon returned from an ankle injury to rush for 149 yards and a touchdown on the ground.
Nov. 9, 2019: BC dropped its second game in two years to Florida State in the 2019 iteration of the Red Bandanna Game. With quarterback Anthony Brown out due to injury, Dennis Grosel threw for 227 yards on 20-for-29 passing, tossing one interception and no scores. Dillon became the first player in BC history to surpass 4,000 career yards with his 19th career 100-yard game. BC trailed 24–14 entering the fourth quarter, and Aaron Boumerhi tied the game with a field goal, but the Seminoles scored twice in a matter of 45 seconds to lead 34–28, and BC couldn’t complete its comeback bid.
Nov. 14, 2020: With no fans in the stadium, BC still donned its Red Bandanna uniforms to take on No. 2 Notre Dame. The parallels to a 1993 miracle, in which the then-No. 12 Eagles beat Notre Dame one week after the Irish had toppled the No. 1 team in the country, lined up for BC, and Phil Jurkovec looked to get his revenge on his former team. But without a true home-field advantage, the Eagles collapsed under Notre Dame’s pressure, resulting in a 45–31 loss for the Eagles.
“It was a game circled on the schedule,” Jurkovec said in the postgame press conference. “To be able to play against all my former teammates, it was a special game. It’s very disappointing to lose it.”

Each year the Boston College Eagles honor alum Welles Crowther, who saved more than a dozen lives on 9/11, with the Red Bandana Game.
One of the best traditions of this century in college football belongs to the Boston College Eagles and the Red Bandana Game.
What is the Red Bandana Game? Who was Welles Crowther? Why does Boston College honor him?
There’s an inspiring reason for it all.
Who was Welles Crowther?
Crowther graduated from Boston College in 1999 and went to work as an equities trader and volunteer firefighter in New York.
On Sept. 11, 2001, he was one of the many people working in the World Trade Center’s South Tower when it was struck by an airplane piloted by terrorists.
Red bandana meaning: Why does Boston College honor Welles?
Tragically, Crowther perished when the tower collapsed, but not before making a heroic impact.
Survivors told stories of a man wearing a red bandana who carried one injured woman on his back and helped coordinator others to safety. They also recounted how he turned back to reenter the building after they made it out, looking to help others. He saved anywhere from 10 to 20 lives that day.

What is the Red Bandana Game?
In 2014, ahead of the anniversary of 9/11, BC decided to honor Crowther’s memory by wearing special jerseys when they faced No. 9 USC. In the red bandana-inspired uniforms, they upset the Trojans and they’ve been wearing Red Bandana uniforms each year since.
For Welles: Boston College football jersey Red Bandana
For 2021’s game against Virginia Tech, the Eagles once again donned special Red Bandana jerseys.
These ones have “For Welles” on the nameplate and feature the distinctive bandana pattern that Crowther used to cover his face in the South Tower.

Inside the Commonwealth location Buildings Liberty Museum Bar in Concord Manufactory Concord Service Entrance Concord Church Head Preston Garvey (Minutemen) Cartilage (Raiders) Organizations Commonwealth Minutemen Creature K Raiders Death Eater Quests Running Out of Time Call of Freedom
Concorde (English Concord is a location in Fallout 4 .
Description
The location is located in the northwest of the Commonwealth. In 2287, it is an old provincial town with four dozen well-preserved houses that give shelter to random travelers. During the first visit to Concord, the Survivor witnesses a confrontation between a gang of raiders led by Cartilage and a group of Minutemen led by Preston Garvey, who have taken refuge in the Liberty Museum.
History
Concord is one of the oldest cities in the United States, founded in 1635 by Puritan colonists from the Massachusetts Colony. It was considered the birthplace of viticulture and winemaking in America. The name of the city, translated from English means “consent, agreement” (meaning the settlers’ agreements on peaceful coexistence with the Indians). It was here that on April 19, 1775, the Thirteen British Colonies’ War for Independence from the British Crown, known as American Revolution , began. In the middle of the 19th century the city was glorified by the philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson , preacher of transcendentalism, a mystical variety of romanticism. His follower Henry David Thoreau lived for two years in a hut on the bank of Emerson’s Walden Pond, where he wrote Walden, or Life in the Woods. Since the mid-twentieth century, Concord, with its Liberty Museum, has been one of the centers of cultural and historical tourism in Massachusetts. Just before the start of the Great War in 2077, not far from the city, the Vault-Tech Corporation completed the construction of an anti-nuclear shelter, in which almost all residents of the nearby settlement of Sanctuary and several people from Concord were enrolled as residents.
