Boston College, Miami To Play On Thanksgiving Friday
BOSTON (CBS) - The last time Miami and Boston College played a game the day after Thanksgiving, a miracle occurred.
BC and Miami have agreed to play their 2011 football game the Friday afternoon following Thanksgiving, the first time the two schools will meet on a Friday since the famous "Flutie Miracle" game of 1984.

The dramatic win by the Eagles is still their only victory over Miami in Miami.
