On the Big Ten Network, Meyer pointed out a play that speaks to Bielema's influence in Champaign
A lot of football analysis programming amounts to a bunch of ex-jocks chortling and back-slapping around a studio space, busting chops about their minor career failures and knee replacements. Not the Big Ten Network, where former conference coaches Urban Meyer and Gerry DiNardo – both of whom have special teams backgrounds – recently dug into Illinois' pivotal fake punt in last Saturday's 21-7 win over Michigan, a call that both analysts believe represents something bigger in Champaign.
"I've been to practice," DiNardo said. "Bret Bielema coaches special teams just like he coaches offense and defense – hands-on." " only one person in that organization who's going to make the decision to run a fake punt in the third quarter," Meyer said. "I'm telling you, I think the game turns out much different if they didn't do that."
"To me, this is a game changer," Meyer said. "It's a flip of field position, and more importantly than that, it's a possession the Wolverines did not get."
