Associated Press
Doug Flutie, a lilliputian quarterback living
in a land of giants, is totally unconcerned
with the consequences of his size.
Tackles and linebackers come at him,
determined to reduce Flutie from his given
5-foot-9 to something less than that. But time
and again, he beats them.
His size, the quarterback would like the
pro scouts to know, is entirely relative. "I
think I'm big enough," he said. "I don't
think it will be a factor. It would help if I
were taller, but it doesn't matter. I play
against defensive linemen who are 6-5, 6-6
now. They don't get taller in the pros. Maybe
they're quicker, maybe they're stronger. But
they're not bigger. I don't think I'll have any
problem.
"ALL QUARTERBACKS throw between
people, not over them. In college, in the
NFL, that's the way it's done. That's the way
i ao it.
Flutie has heard this business about his size
before. In fact, it was what delivered him to
Boston College in the first place. "I came to
BC because it was my only Division 1 offer,"
he said.
And the offer was to be a catcher, not a
pitcher. After all, who ever heard of a 5-9
quarterback in a bigtime football program.
"Because of my size, people doubted I

switch back."
HE STAYED, though, and now has passed
for more yards than any quarterback in
collegiate football history, a distinction that
helped him make the Kodak All America
team Tuesday. "I have my own assets, my
own talent because of my size," he said. "I

Indeed, Flutie proved that with a
storybook 48-yard touchdown pass ? that
actually traveled 64 yards in the air ? to
roommate Gerard Phelan on the final play of
the game to beat Miami in a shootout last
Friday when he scored past 10,000 career
yards.
Now Boston College's passer has added a
verb to the football glossary. After surrendering
the lead with less than a minute to
play, BC made it to midfield in two plays.
Then came the last gasp touchdown pass to
win it.
Miami had been Flutied.
THERE WAS nothing to it, really, if you
listen to the quarterback.
"Gerard had the tougher job," Flutie said.
"He had to run 60 yards."
