On Tuesday afternoon, tempers boiled over in the Cheez-It Citrus Bowl Illinois Head coach Bret Bielema seemed to taunt South Carolina Head coach Shane Beamer and the Gamecocks bench. Both benches were cleared, but a significant scuffle was avoided as Beamer was seen apoplectic in the broadcast.

The incident was sparked when an Illinois player was injured on the ground near the South Carolina sideline late in the third quarter. Bielema had gone over to see how the player was doing, and after turning to return to his sideline, he faced Beamer and the South Carolina group and signaled the referee to allow substitutions.

Beamer was hot at the start of the game and was apparently upset with the referee’s direction. And when Bielema made his shot, Beamer lost his composure for a moment. Bielema also gave the substitution signal when passing over.
