Divine Moment: With 3:47 it’s 3rd & 47

Five years ago, BKfootball.com, MidKnightMedia, and jpbrunelle created a recount of the 2004 State Championship and its seminal moment — 3:47 remaining, 3rd & 47 for BK.  The YouTube video has been viewed more than 25,000 times!

It’s one of those plays that will be forever remembered, and for good reason.  It was pivotal, it was unexpected, it was clutch, it had a certain black-and-gold magic to it, and it came on the biggest stage during the biggest moment of the biggest game at the apex of the most dominant and celebrated streak of gridiron success in the storied history of BK football.

With 3:47 remaining in the 2005 state championship game, BK faced a 3rd and 47 at its own 17-yard line.  The Knights led by 2, but big mo had swung Poky’s way following their TD and a peculiar pass interference call.  The din in the dome was deafening as Brennan considered his options.  Would he give his star QB a chance to throw for a 48-yard first down? Or would it be a simple run and prepare to punt and play some defense?   Or something else?

The result is online at BK vs. Poky \”3rd & 47\”
