Razorback Ryan Mallett breaks his own single game mark with 409 yds in 49-14 win over Vandy

Ryan Mallett passed for a new University of Arkansas school record 409 yards to pace the 19th-ranked Razorbacks to a dominant 49-14 victory over Vanderbilt University for the 2010 Homecoming game. Mallett moved to second on the all-time career passing list tonight also as he threw a personal best 44 times for three touchdowns. Arkansas racked up 555 yards of total offense while holding Vanderbilt to only 153. It was a night of double trouble for Vanderbilt as several Razorbacks had two scores each. A slow start allowed the Commodores, 2-6, 1-4 in Southeastern Conference play, to take an early lead, 14-6. Then Mallett and the Arkansas offense dropped into gear, reeling off 43 unanswered points to take command of the game. The 49 total points is the most for a Bobby Petrino coached team at Arkansas in SEC play, and the third most for Petrino's Arkansas tenure. It is the most this season. Mallett's first TD was to D.J. Williams in the first half. Williams went on to receive the media's Crip Hall Award for the outstanding senior player on Homecoming night. Mallett's other scores were to Jarius Wright, both 15-yard touchdowns. It was the first two-touchdown game for Wright. Zach Hocker picked up a pair of second half field goals, one for 26 and a second for 27 yards. Touchdown runs by Knile Davis of 2-yards each accounted for the two other offensive touchdowns. Defense turned in nine points starting with a safety, the second of the season for Arkansas. Jerico Nelson's 39-yard interception return for a touchdown capped the night's scoring.
