I have a real problem with the ending of the LSU - Arkansas game. In Overtime Arkansas won the toss and elected to be on defense OT Period I, both scored on to Period II, Arkansas went first scored and then LSU scored, on to Period III (this is the problem) Arkansas went first and LSU should have. Arkansas scored made the two point conversion and LSU scored and missed theirs, game over. Although Arkansas won they should have gone second by rule. Anyone know what happened?

It does not automatically alternate each extra period. Since Ark won the toss, they would have right to pick what to do at start of 1st, 3d, 5th, etc Why they chose to go on offense first in the 3d is a mystery but I suspet it will come out eventually.
