FORT WORTH, Texas -- Arkansas Razorbacks coach Bret Bielema was all smiles and sweat. Strutting into his postgame news conference following Arkansas' thrilling 41-38 double overtime win at No. 15 TCU, he plopped down into his chair with the giddy expression of a child who just slipped his vegetables under the table to the family dog.
"Well, opening statement: We want to keep you in your seat for four quarters and some," Bielema chuckled.
It was a joyous moment for Bielema, who just moments earlier was going through a whirlwind of emotions during a roller coaster fourth quarter in which his Razorbacks were outscored 21-8, yet ended up in overtime with a last-minute touchdown drive and a Dan Skipper blocked field goal.
