David Walker (born December 24, 1955) is a former left-handed American football quarterback who played for Texas A&M University in the mid-1970s.
In the game, the Aggies had three ball carriers break the century mark in rushing; Skip Walker with 130, Bubba Bean with 127, and fullback Bucky Sams who finished with 107 yards and scored the winning touchdown late in the 4th quarter.
A final game loss at Texas kept them from the Cotton Bowl and the SWC championship, thus allowing Grant Teaff's Baylor team, a 20-0 victim of the Aggies earlier in the season, to claim the crown.
The Aggies rose to #2 and the country's top-ranked defense before ending the season with one-sided losses to Arkansas and Liberty Bowl opponent Southern California.
The single-game yardage record stood for more than 30 years until Johnny Manziel rushed for 229 yards against Oklahoma in the 2013 Cotton Bowl Classic.
