Here are the best moments from the game so far:
What is Boston College's Red Bandana Game?
The Red Bandana Game honors Welles Crowther, a former Boston College lacrosse player who led a rescue effort at the World Trade Center on 9/11.
According to eyewitness reports, Crowther guided victims to the only available stairwell and even carried a woman to where firefighters were headed to help those on higher floors of the Trade Center. He repeated this process, going back up to guide more people down the stairway, ultimately sacrificing his life to assist as many individuals as possible.
