He was standing just a few yards from where Gerard Phelan caught Doug Flutie’s game-winning “Hail Mary” pass, as Boston College beat Miami. “I was so amazed at what I saw, I was barely able to conduct the post-game interviews and file my story! To this day, it’s the most memorable story I’ve covered."
