Kevin Sumlin jokes about Bret Bielema wanting to punch him after OT win last season

As No. 17 Arkansas and No. 10 Texas A&M prepare to rekindle their rivalry at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, for the third straight year, Aggies coach Kevin Sumlin reflected on how the game shook down last year.
Texas A&M overcame a fourth-quarter deficit and beat a skidding Razorbacks squad 28-21 in overtime, the second straight season the contest ended with a tie in regulation. Sumlin at his weekly press conference Tuesday quipped about Arkansas coach Bret Bielema wanting to give him more than a handshake after the 2015 edition.
Kevin Sumlin joked about Bret Bielema (an old friend) wanting to punch him after last game, an A&M OT win, 'I hope not. He's a big dude.'

The Aggies and Razorbacks will tangle at 9 p.m. ET on ESPN, and for Sumlin’s sake, let’s hope this game isn’t as gut-wrenching for Arkansas as the last two were.
