Here’s a not-so-friendly reminder of how old you’re getting.
Florida Gators wide receiver Tyrie Cleveland caught the 63-yard Hail Mary touchdown pass from Feleipe Franks to beat Tennessee on the final play of the game. Afterwards, he was asked about Doug Flutie’s famous Hail Mary for Boston College in 1984 to beat Miami. His response is surprising.
#Gators WR Tyrie Cleveland asked about Doug Flutie's Hail Mary: "I haven't heard of Doug Flutie."

Cleveland’s just a sophomore, so he was born about 15 years after Flutie’s Hail Mary in college, and was really young when the former QB retired from the NFL. It’s understandable why a young guy like him might not know Flutie.
After making the incredible catch on Saturday, Cleveland might want to spend a little time on YouTube checking out some of the best Hail Mary’s in football to see where his stacks up.
