Boston College is the Miami Hurricanes fifth biggest rival in terms of the number of games the Eagles and Canes have played. Miami has dominated the rivalry with 24 wins and only five losses.
One of BC’s victories is one of the most memorable in the history of college football. The Doug Flutie to Gerard Phelan hail mary game winner in 1984 at the Orange Bowl was an indelible moment in Flutie’s Heisman Trophy-winning season.
Miami turned the tables 17 years later. With Boston College on the verge of taking the lead with less than a minute remaining in the fourth quarter, Miami Hurricanes defensive lineman Matt Walters intercepted a pass after it bounced off of Miami cornerback and current Cornerbacks Coach Mike Rumph.
