College Career
Crane was redshirted during the 2004 season at Boston College. In 2005, was the third string quarterback behind Matt Ryan and Quinton Porter. He saw action in one game, completing three of four pass attempts for 42 yards and one rush for eight yards against Ball State.
Crane played eight games in 2006. He made his first career start on October 28, 2006 against the Buffalo Bulls, completing 17-of-26 pass attempts for 142 yards and one touchdown; added two rushing touchdowns against the Bulls. He also completed three of three pass attempts for nine yards against the Maine Black Bears and also completed two of three passes for 41 yards against the Duke Blue Devils.
Crane saw his first action of the 2007 season on September 22 against Army. He finished one of two passing for 15 yards in the game. His only other action of the season came on October 10 against Bowling Green, where he completed one of two passes for 13 yards.
Crane began 2008 as the Eagles number one quarterback, ahead of redshirt freshman Dominique Davis. He led the Eagles to a 3-1 start, with his first loss coming against Georgia Tech, 16-19. He then briefly improved the team's conference record by winning against North Carolina State and Virginia Tech, but lost the next two against North Carolina and Clemson. These losses were fueled by Crane's mediocre performance, but calls for his benching quickly ended when he led the team to a win against rival Notre Dame and to a win at Florida State during FSU's Senior Night. Crane's short time at Boston College came to an end as Crane broke his collar bone in a game against Wake Forest. The Eagles, under Dominique Davis, advanced and lost in the 2008 ACC Championship Game against Virginia Tech for a second year in a row.

Famous quotes containing the words college career, college and/or career:
“In looking back over the college careers of those who for various reasons have been prominent in undergraduate life ... one cannot help noticing that these men have nearly always shown from the start an interest in the lives of their fellow students. A large acquaintance means that many persons are dependent on a man and conversely that he himself is dependent on many. Success necessarily means larger responsibilities, and responsibilities mean many friends.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
“We talked about and that has always been a puzzle to me
why American men think that success is everything
when they know that eighty percent of them are not
going to succeed more than to just keep going and why
if they are not why do they not keep on being
interested in the things that interested them when
they were college men and why American men different
from English men do not get more interesting as they
get older.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
“John Brown’s career for the last six weeks of his life was meteor-like, flashing through the darkness in which we live. I know of nothing so miraculous in our history.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
