Former Boston College QB Doug Flutie Attends Red Bandanna Game, The Rundown: September 22, 2024

In this story:
Former Boston College quarterback Doug Flutie was in attendance for the Eagles Week 4 contest against the Michigan State Spartans.
Flutie was spotted on the sideline prior to the game talking to current quarterback Thomas Castellanos. After the game, Castellanos spoke to the media about that moment.
“It was amazing,” said Castellanos. “Actually during pregame warmup, he came up to me and was like ‘You got this, lead your guys.’ Ex-Heisman winner, legend here, still walk around, he still got his jersey selling in the bookstores or you still see people wearing them. It’s kind of motivation. For a guy like that to come back and give words of encouragement or details or things here and there to help my game or help me as a leader on-and-off the field. It’s amazing.”
