Saturday was the high school prom at Westfield High School in Houston, Texas. Jacoby Walker spent it in Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium helping lead the White team to a 31-21 victory over the Red in the 2010 Razorback football spring game.Walker joined the Razorbacks at midterm, graduating early from Westfield. He went 6-of-11 for 183 yards passing with two touchdowns and a long of 50 yards. He also rushed for 30 yards and along with fellow freshman Brandon Mitchell were the offensive stars of the Red-White Game.
Mitchell ran for two touchdowns, including an 88-yard thriller early in the game.
With quarterback Ryan Mallett completing his comeback from off-season foot surgery, the rookies Mitchell and Walker took center stage.
The Razorback football coaches set out to create even teams for the spring game, and got nearly even production from the two teams. The White had the slight edge with 409 yards of total offense to 357 for the Red team.
“It was a fun spring game, really fun for the players," Razorback head coach Bobby Petrino said. "It was a good way to end our spring football. We moved the ball well at times but we struggled to complete some passes. Part of that was the pass rush and the other part was that guys were out of rhythm at times.”
The game was a back-and-forth contest until the final quarter.
