The BC Eagles and Miami Hurricanes play again Friday, 27 years after that crazy game in 1984, when Doug Flutie and Gerard Phelan hooked up on the final play for what has become one of the most-replayed finishes in college football history.

The Hail Mary pass gave BC the win and Flutie went on to have a Hall of Fame career in the CFL (which has its championship game Sunday) and a brief NFL career with the Patriots and Bills.

The Eagles will have a losing season for the first time since 1998 and will try to spoil to the party on Friday; they are 5-6 ATS against the number this season, while the Hurricanes are 7-4 ATS. Boston College is 1-10 on the totals; Miami is 6-5.
