Mallett's Collegiate Career
|
The Batesville, Arkansas native began his collegiate career at
Michigan in 2007 after the 2006 Texas High School Player of the
Year signed with the Wolverines. Mallett played one season for
Michigan, but left after Rich Rodriguez took over the coach helms
prior to the 2008 season. The spread option offense being
installed by "Rich Rod" did not suit Mallett's dropback style, so
the 6-7 QB headed back to Arkansas
2007: Filling in for the injured Chad Henne, Mallett completed 61
of 141 passes (43.3%) for 892 yards, 7 TD's and 5 Int's as a
freshman for the Wolverines
2009: After sitting out the mandated season due to his transfer
from Michigan, Mallett was able to take the field for the
Razorbacks in 2009. On the season, he completed 225 of 403
passes (55.8%) for 3627 yards, 30 TD's and 7 Int's. Under his
direction, the Razorbacks posted an 8-5 record including a
Liberty Bowl win over East Carolina
2010: As a junior, Mallett guided the Razorbacks to a
tremendous season that culminated with a Sugar Bowl berth
against Ohio State. Although falling short in the bowl game,
Arkansas finished the season with a 10-3 record. The Hogs QB
completed 266 of 411 passes (64.7%) for 3869 yards, 32 TD's
and 12 Int's.
