FAYETTEVILLE -- Bret Bielema laughed off the suggestion he was an instigator or tried to "flop" when he intervened after a confrontation between opposing players near the Arkansas sideline in the first half of Saturday's 27-14 loss at No. 8 Alabama.
Bielema, speaking at a news conference Tuesday during Arkansas' bye week, re-enacted how he walked into the escalating situation between Alabama offensive lineman Cam Robinson and Arkansas defensive lineman JaMichael Winston after an interception return by safety Santos Ramirez to the Alabama 24.
Robinson was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct after the incident, when he appeared to push Bielema's right arm away and the coach lurched back slightly.
