	Forever And Ever, The Pass :: Flutie to Phelan still a miracle 15 years later.
		Phelan had a clear line of sight on the ball as it sailed over their heads and into his arms at the goal line.
		Phelan began jumping up and down with the ball as an official raised his hands to signal a touchdown.
		When Gerard Phelan caught Doug Flutie's pass for the winning touchdown against Miami in 1984, everyone on the Boston College sidelines - players, assistant coaches, trainers, doctors, managers, friends - immediately sprinted for the end zone to join in the absolute mayhem that had erupted among the Eagles starters.

	Hail Mary pass - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		With almost no time left on the clock, BC quarterback Doug Flutie threw a desperation Hail Mary pass which succeeded primarily because Miami's secondary stood on the goal line to keep the receivers in front of them, and failed to cover a post route being run by Gerard Phelan.
		Miami's defense was based on the assumption that Flutie would be unable to throw the ball as far as the end zone, but Flutie hit Phelan in stride against a flatfooted defense a yard deep in the end zone.
		The term "Hail Mary pass" is often incorrectly believed to have been coined by Dallas Cowboys quarterback Roger Staubach, referring to his desperation (and Catholic beliefs), for his game-winning touchdown pass in a December 28, 1975 NFC semifinal playoff game.

	News: Miracle in Miami duo visit Brandeis for fund-raiser
		Quarterback Doug Flutie, the pride of Natick, tossed his famous Miracle in Miami 48-yard touchdown heave to Gerard Phelan in the mist of the Orange Bowl, lifting Boston College to a last-second 47-45 win over the University of Miami on November 23, 1984.
		And believe it our not, at that point in their BC careers, Phelan was progressing faster than the guy who would go on to win the 1984 Heisman Trophy.
		The point was well taken four years later when Flutie and Phelan were two of the major components in an Eagle squad that went to three straight bowl games, winning the Cotton Bowl as seniors, and a cachet of hardware that would include the Heisman Trophy.
