Crane began 2008 as the Eagles number one quarterback, ahead of redshirt freshman Dominique Davis. [2] 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 as the Boston College starter came to an end as he broke his collarbone 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.
