133 Consolation R4: RBY vs. Micky Phillippi (Pitt)
Per 1
Speed vs. Strength, at least by the eye test. After about 1:30, they are both wrestling from their knees. RBY gets a leg, elevates it along the edge, trips him but Phillippi with a whizzer so no TD, and Phillippi kicks away. Damn. End
Per 2

Per 3
RBY takes neutral. RBY reaches low, Phillippi sprawls, nothing. 1 min left. RBY tries to shoot a single, nothing. Phillippi shoots in, gets a single, they scramble, and OOB with 12 sec. Wow. Phillippi shoots, RBY sprawls, and that's the match. 4-3, RBY advances, and is an AA. Wait, Pitt is throwing a challenge brick, I think for a hands to the face. Refs take almost no time reviewing, and that's the match, as RBY wins!
