On November 23, 1984, Boston College’s diminutive
quarterback Doug Flutie throws a last-second 64-yard pass to beat the
University of Miami 47-45. The 30,235 fans in the Orange Bowl had
already begun to celebrate the victory they were sure their Hurricanes
had won, and they were stunned when Flutie’s pass found his teammate
(and roommate) Gerard Phelan in the end zone. The receiver, for his
part, was just as stunned: "He threw it a long, long way," Phelan said
after the game. "I didn’t think he could throw the ball that far."
