Things got a bit heated early on in the Sugar Bowl. Baylor offensive lineman Blake Bedier was locked up with linebacker Nolan Smith on a play in the second quarter, and his frustration got the best of him as he was seen throwing a punch at Smith's helmet.

Bedier tried to plead his case afterwards, but it the punch was clear as day, and the referees award Georgia with 15 yards as a result of the offensive lineman's actions.

Matt Rhule and Co. were rightfully heated with Bedier's unexplainable decision to throw a punch, and he's lucky he got off with just a flag.
