Arkansas Lateral

In yesterday's Arkansas game the lateral occurred on 4th down. It bounced before it was recovered by Arkansas and advanced for a first down. My question is....would this play have been legal in the nfl? My understanding is that fourth-down fumbles can only be recovered and advanced by the player who fumbled. Since the lateral bounced, would it be considered a fumble?
