I didn’t watch the game. Reading after the fact, sounds like Bielema was defending his players after Beamer called a sleazy, deceptive return play. Apparently USC simulated an “all clear, don’t touch it, peter peter peter peter” situation, then caught the kick and executed a throwback.
Bielema looked like a doof, but he defended his players. He didn’t look like a “Beckman falls down” doof. His players responded well to being defended, and got the g-d win. His players no doubt appreciated being defended. The best kind of coach is the one who passionately, unobjectively defends his players always. Bielema did it.
Beamer’s defense was “it’s legal, we cleared it with the officials before the game.” Meaning, technically legal but also kind of sh*tty. And the return only netted 25 yards.
The SEC is a bunch of chumps. It’s a shame Sullivan’s CHOKE JOB cost the B1G another win over those suckas.
