FAYETTEVILLE — Five observations from No. 20 Arkansas’ 52-10 win over Alcorn State at War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock on Saturday.
Whaley’s first trip to the Rock is memorable one
Devwah Whaley’s first carry Saturday produced his first collegiate touchdown. And it was an impressive one.
Whaley took the handoff from Austin Allen, made a quick, decisive cut into a gaping hole and sprinted untouched 75 yards for a score midway through the first quarter.
Whaley finished with a game-high 135 yards on nine carries. Decent little 15-yard average. Even though the output came against a grossly overmatched FCS defense, the performance showcased the big-play ability Whaley displayed as a highly touted high school back and flashed in fall camp.
