In this story:

The Boston College football program will honor the 1984 team on Saturday when the Eagles host the UNC Tar Heels.

During that season, the Eagles went 10-2 overall and won the 1985 Cotton Bowl 48-25 over Houston.

The most notable moment from that year was the Hail Mary, also known as the “Hail Flutie” against Miami. Quarterback Doug Flutie threw a 48-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Gerard Phelan with six seconds left in the game to give the Eagles the 47-45 win over the Hurricanes.

Saturday marks the 40th anniversary of the game.

The Eagles and Tar Heels are set to kick off at noon ET on The CW.
