Tempers flared during the second half of Tuesday’s Cheez-It Citrus Bowl, during which South Carolina head coach Shane Beamer had to be held back after being taunted by Illinois counterpart Bret Bielema.

Bielema came across the field late in the third quarter to see about an injured player, and held out both arms to mimic the officials’ “substitution” signal as he was walking back to the Illini sideline. That set off Beamer, who had been complaining all game about Illinois’ tactics — including allegedly faking injuries — to slow down the Gamecocks’ hurry-up offense.

The South Carolina coach was visibly upset, and had to be held back by staff members. Bielema was later caught on camera delivering a sly smirk.

Here’s video:

There were no further fireworks during the post-game handshake, and Bielema dodged a question about his altercation with Beamer in his post-game interview on ESPN.
