Bielema: Lateral was sign

FAYETTEVILLE -- Arkansas Coach Bret Bielema could not label last Saturday's 53-52 victory at No. 18 Ole Miss as the greatest game he'd been a part of, but he bestowed an all-timer award to the lateral play in overtime.

"Of the plays in my career, that was probably one of the most astonishing, rewarding, fulfilling, but also in its own weird kind of way, not surprising," Bielema said Wednesday on the SEC coaches' teleconference.

Facing fourth and 25 from the Ole Miss 40 in overtime, Hunter Henry caught Brandon Allen's pass about 11 yards short of a first down, lateraled blindly over his head to Alex Collins, who picked up a tailor-made bounce off lineman Dan Skipper's hand at the Ole Miss 42 and ran 31 yards for a first down.
