The Boston College Eagles opened up their 2020 season at home tonight with a game played in an empty Alumni Stadium against Texas State. Given mass gatherings are still shut down here in Massachusetts, there were no fans in the stadium, and as a result, no field access for photographers. Now I know how all the other photographers felt at Fenway all season!
Still, it was a fun challenge to think differently about how to cover it. Here is my take of the Eagles win on a late field goal, shot for Getty Images.
