I saw the Pettway TD. It was a nice catch. That dude looks absolutely massive!

Birmingham rolls in the South final, 47-22.

Pettway (BIRM) with only 1 catch for 13 yards, but could probably have had 3 more catches with some better throws. Also had 1 tackle on kickoff coverage.

Bibbs (NO) played on offense and special teams, but no targets and no stats.

Thanks for the updates! Always like to hear how former Cyclones are doing, even in these "lower" leagues.

USFL Championship Game tonight -- 7:00 CT on NBC
Birmingham (8-2, South champ) vs. Pittsburgh (4-6, North champ)

Birmingham beat Pittsburgh, 24-20, back in Week 4 (early May).

La'Michael Pettway (#80) is listed as Birmingham's third TE on their depth chart, but he lines up at WR positions.
