PHOTOS: Boston College to honor 9/11 victim with 'Red Bandana' uniforms vs. USC
Boston College will pay tribute to an alumnus who died in the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
The Eagles will wear special helmets, gloves and cleats to honor Welles Crowther, a 24-year-old equity trader, who saved several lives before perishing in the attacks on New York's World Trade Center on 9/11.
Here's a look at the modified equipment the team will wear against USC this Saturday.

Crowther wore a red bandana to protect himself from smoke on that fateful day. He also wore one under his helmet while playing lacrosse for the Eagles.
