Walker, who rushed for 65 yards in his pro debut in Los Angeles, gained 60 yards against the Stars and fumbled twice, two of New Jersey's seven turnovers.

Chuck Fusina, once the backup quarterback for the NFL's Tampa Bay Buccaneers, ran for one touchdown and passed 8 yards to Scott Fitzkee for another and Kelvin Bryant outshone Walker with 114 yards and a touchdown before 38,205 fans in Philadelphia.
