Doug Flutie through the years

Former Boston College quarterback Doug Flutie threw the legendary Hail Mary pass to receiver Gerard Phelan to give the Eagles a thrilling 47-45 last-second win over the University of Miami on Nov. 23, 1984. In an interview with ESPN's Brent Musburger on the 25th anniversary of the pass, Flutie said it's a rare day when the Hail Mary is not brought up in conversation. 'I know the average is well over once a day,' he told Musburger. 'There may be a day that goes by where it doesn't come up, but they're few and far between.' Here's a look back at Doug Flutie through the years.
