Then, Arkansas got the ball first in the second and third OT.

The announcers did not say anything.

Did I see what I think I saw? What is the rule? What happened?

I saw the same thing and was also confused. I was flipping back and forth between that and the UT game so figured I missed the explanation. Apparently Arkansas chose to take the ball first in the 3d OT since it would have been their choice.
