Anybody know why Houston started with the ball in every OT period? 
Am I missing something?

i believe UTSA won the toss and chose defense 1st, and then Houston decided to take the ball 1st in the 2nd OT when they had the choice

@buddygurt

 I see. Didnt know there was another choice at start of 2nd OT. Usually its just the inverse of what started at 1st OT.

New OT Rules:

1 - Choice in each OT (it used to be the inverse)
2 - Must go for 2 in the 2nd OT (used to be the 3rd)
3 - After 2 OT's, they just alternate 2-pt conversions (kind of hokey, but at least avoids all the artificial yards/TD's)
