College Career
Wallace attended Sacramento City College in order to stay close to home at his mother's request. He transferred to Iowa State University for his junior and senior year.
Wallace received widespread notice in 2002 while with the Iowa State Cyclones in a play known affectionately to some as "The Run," in which he ran for a 12-yard touchdown versus Texas Tech. However, his actual amount of running in this play was estimated at over 120 yards (some sources claim it was actually 130 or more), as he dodged tackles and ran parallel to the end zone while receiving numerous blocks from his offense. While quarterbacking the Iowa State Cyclones in 2001 and 2002, he threw 26 touchdowns and 27 interceptions.

Famous quotes containing the words college and/or career:
“... [a] girl one day flared out and told the principal “the only mission opening before a girl in his school was to marry one of those candidates [for the ministry].” He said he didn’t know but it was. And when at last that same girl announced her desire and intention to go to college it was received with about the same incredulity and dismay as if a brass button on one of those candidate’s coats had propounded a new method for squaring the circle or trisecting the arc.”
—Anna Julia Cooper (1859–1964)
“My ambition in life: to become successful enough to resume my career as a neurasthenic.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
