Arkansas quarterback Ryan Mallett (foot/toe surgery) is getting around campus on a scooter, but coach Bobby Petrino is not worried about his starting quarterback gaining weight while he's off his feet.  "We haven't had any trouble with [weight] at all," Petrino said. "He's done a really nice job. I think our nutritionist, Kurt Schmidt, has done an excellent job with him because he now knows how to eat properly, what to eat."

Mallett had a screw inserted in his foot on Feb. 18 and is expected to be confined to the scooter for a few more weeks. He is not expected to be fully recovered until July.
