Biggest upsets and comebacks for Boston's sports teams

1984: BC 47, Miami 45 In one of the most famous plays in college football history, Doug Flutie threw a last-second 48-yard 'Hail Mary' touchdown pass to receiver Gerard Phelan in the end zone, giving the Eagles an improbably victory over the mighty Hurricanes at the Orange Bowl Nov. 23, 1984. Flutie, who won the Heisman Trophy that season, scrambled to his right, narrowly averting a sack, then launched the football from his own 37-yard line, requiring the 5-foot-9-inch QB to throw the ball at least 63 yards.
