ESPN confirmed amateur video footage was shot of Arkansas head coach Bret Bielema by a third-party contractor working a parabolic microphone for Saturday's Arkansas-Alabama broadcast.

It was posted "by Pelham (Alabama) High School defensive backs coach Anthony Jacks," ESPN reported, "but Jacks told ESPN.com on Monday that he does not own the video. He recorded it on his phone from the owner of the video but declined to identify the owner who originally shot the video."

A second video from the game also surfaced online, of a different member of the production team near Bielema, who waved a hand before an Arkansas fourth-down try. An ESPN source said any allegations of playcall signaling are absolutely false, and that the employee was signaling to a camera for a standard communications check with producers.
