1) Looked like he fanned on the pass. Floated right to the Michigan player.
2) All due respect to your friends, but if BC had any appeal beyond its alums it would fill out its sporting events, particularly football where they can't even sell out a small stadium for marquee opponents not named Notre Dame (and that's all Notre Dame fans filling the place up during those games). Look, its not BC's fault mind you. People around here don't care about college sports except maybe come NCAA hoops tournament time when they're filling out their brackets with teams they've never seen. The college market is too fractured as well as everyone has their own loyalties as opposed to one or two gigantic state schools. It is what it is. In my lifetime I remember two instances where a college team captured the wider public's interest: 1984 BC football with Flutie, and 1996 UMass basketball Final Four team*. That's it.
