November 08, 2020 | Football
Red Bandanna Game against the Fighting Irish set for 3:30 p.m.
CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. – The Atlantic Coast Conference announced today that Saturday's game between Boston College and No. 2 Notre Dame will kickoff at 3:30 p.m. from Alumni Stadium. ABC will televise the game to a national audience.
Â
As an annual tradition and one of most special days of the season, Boston College will honor Welles Crowther in the annual Red Bandanna Game against Notre Dame.
Â
Crowther is known as the "Man in the Red Bandanna" after he saved over a dozen lives in the South Tower during the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001. He wore a red bandanna, which he carried with him and wore during his playing days at The Heights, to protect himself from the smoke and dust.
Â
The Eagles will wear special Under Armour uniforms for Saturday's game for the first time.
Â
Saturday's game marks the first time since 2013 that Boston College has made three appearances in the same season on ABC. The Oct. 31 game between BC and No. 1 Clemson on ABC had an audience of 4.56 million viewers, the second-best viewership of any college football game that day. The Oct. 3 game involving BC and No. 12 North Carolina registered an audience of 2.03 million viewers.
Â
In addition to the television coverage on ABC, WEEI 93.7 FM will broadcast the game.
Â
Saturday's game against Notre Dame and the Nov. 27 contest versus Louisville will be held without fans at Alumni Stadium as a result of COVID-19. Only essential game management personnel and credentialed media will be permitted to attend.
