Bielema's decision to play it safe backfired on the Razorbacks.
Receiving criticism for taking his foot off the pedal was probably something no one would have ever thought Arkansas head coach Bret Bielema would face, and yet here we are.
Facing an opportunity to attempt a go-ahead touchdown late in the Mississippi State game, Bielema took the ball out of the hands of his quarterback Brandon Allen - who had thrown seven touchdowns without an interception - and played it safe. Although the decision turned out to be not so safe after all.
