Arkansas coach Bret Bielema flops to draw penalty, celebrates flag (Video)

Arkansas head coach Bret Bielema is always up to something.

During Saturday’s Arkansas-Alabama game, Bielema got himself involved in a scuffle with Crimson Tide lineman Cam Robinson near the Razorbacks sideline.

Robinson had delivered a big hit on Arkansas’ Hjalte Froholdt at the end of a second quarter interception return, and when another Arkansas player got in the face of Robinson, two refs, along with Bielema, quickly intervened. Bielema, however, had other intentions and pretended like Robinson pushed him.

The act drew a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on Robinson and Bielema was quick to celebrate.

The 15-yard penalty moved the ball all the way to the Alabama 12-yard line, and the Razorbacks cashed in with a touchdown three plays later.

That score gave Arkansas a 7-3 lead at halftime, but Alabama responded in the second half and went on to win 27-14.
