Question
what are the rules for overtime?I it the first one score?

Answer
Santini, hello!  What a great name!



I have attached the rules for you to review.  The NFL rules are the first one to score, but in college, the offense gets one turn each, so if the offense scores, the defense takes the ball and has a chance to score.  



Take Care,
