the NCAA Division II Super Region Four poll. ASU’s opponent this week, Texas A&M-Commerce,
is one spot ahead at No. 7. The top six teams in the region will receive
bids to the NCAA Division II playoffs. Earned access will be granted to one team if a
conference does not have a school in the top six but is in the top eight of the rankings.
LSC Player of the Week ... Again
Kyle Washington was named LSC Player of the Week for the third time after having
a hand in all six of the Rams touchdowns in the 41-36 win over Midwestern State to
propel ASU to the LSC Playoff Championship game. The junior threw for 268 yards and
four touchdowns on 14-of-28 passing while gaining 184 yards on the ground and two
touchdowns. He averaged 15.3 yards per carry in the win. Washington is now No. 4 in
NCAA Division II and No. 1 in the LSC in total offense averaging 353.6 yards per game.
Winning Season
The Rams moved to 7-2 on the season and are in the midst of the program’s 31st
winning season since 1964. The seven victories are the most since 2005. ASU won the
LSC South Division in 2000 but the last times the Rams won a conference championship
was in 1987.
Quick Scores
The Rams offense wasted little time scoring against Midwestern State on Saturday. Every
scoring drive for ASU was less than four plays. Five of the six drives were under one
minutes and the longest last just one minute and 34 second. Three of the touchdowns
(69, 59, 68) were over 50-yards and five of the six touchdowns scored were over 20-yards.
Record Breaker
Kyle Washington is close to adding his name to a couple ASU records. The junior
quarterback has 25 passing touchdowns which is two away from Josh Neiswander’s
single-season record of 27. It is the most passing touchdowns since Neiswander threw
25 in 2009. The 25 touchdowns is currently the 17th most in NCAA Division II. He is on
pace (63.3-percent) to set the ASU record for completion percentage in a single season
which is 62.4 held by Neiswander. Washington has already broke the individual total
offense record with 3,182 yard currently he set last season.
Defensive Takeaways
The Rams picked off a pass and recovered a fumble to bring their season total to 23
takeaways. The 15 interceptions is the most in a season since 2010. The interception led
to a touchdown and ASU has now scored 115 points off the 23 turnovers this season.
Road Games
The Rams are 3-0 in road games with wins over Midwestern State, Texas A&M-Kingsville
and Tarleton State. ASU has won its last five games on the road dating back to 2013. The
Rams are 11-7 under head coach Will Wagner on the road.
Offensive Record
The Ram offense is looking to break a couple of records on Saturday. ASU is on pace
to average 479.3 yards per game which would break the single-season game average
of 457.9 set last season. The offense could also break the record for points scored in a
season in just 10 games. ASU has scored 382 points and scored 51 touchdowns this
year. The 1989 Rams, hold the record for touchdowns in a season (51) and points scored
(398) in 11 games. ASU is also on pace to break the points scored per game at 42.4 with
the 1989 team holding the record at 36.2.
Tackles
Rush Seaver, the No. 3 tackler in NCAA Division II at 14.1 tackles per game, recorded
his seventh double-digit tackle game of the season. His 127 total tackles is the most in a
single season since James Williamson had 132 in 2003.
Ranked Opponents
The No. 24 Texas A&M-Commerce Lions will be the second-ranked opponent the Rams
will face this season and the second on the road this season. Midwestern State was
ranked No. 16 when the Rams faced them in Wichita Falls.
Streaking
Kyle Washington extended his streak of throwing a touchdown pass in consecutive game
to 16. The Humble native added four passing touchdowns and now has 25 TD’s on the
season and 49 in his career. He has thrown a TD pass in 21 of the 27 games he has
played in during his career.
Career Top 10
Kyle Washington has been etching his name in the ASU record books. The junior became
the first ASU player in history to pass for over 2,000 and rush for over 1,000 in a single
season last year and is now the only player in ASU history to be in the top 10 in both
career passing yards (7th) and career rushing yards (6th). He is 131 rushing yards away
from accomplishing the 2,000 & 1,000 yard barriers again. The quarterback is also on
pace to break the ASU record for total offense record in a season of 298.3 held by Josh
Neiswander. The Humble native is currently averaging 341.2 yards per game.
Receiving Milestone
Dakarai Pecikonis continued his climb on the ASU all-time career receiving list. The senior
wide receiver moved closer to the ASU all-time career receiving yards mark with 2,665
yards. He is 46 yards from moving into No. 2 all-time ahead of Darron Johnson and just
133 yards from passing Don Burrell for the top spot.
Career Sacks
Clayton Callicutt has quietly moved up the ASU career sack list. The junior has 6.5 sacks
this season and now has 18.5 for his career as a Ram. Callicutt is currently No. 4 on the
ASU all-time career sacks. The three names in front of him are Dane Krager (31), Greg
Collins (26.5) and Pierce Holt (21.5). The junior is currently No. 15 in NCAA Division II and
No. 1 in LSC in tackles for loss with 1.94 per game.
No. 1 Kickoff Returns
The Rams are leading NCAA Division II by averaging 27.88 yards per kick return this
season. ASU has had five games of at least 100 return yards. Anthony Yancy is No. 5 in
NCAA Division II and No. 1 in the LSC at 32.7 yards per return. He is one of 10 players in
NCAA Division II with two kickoff return touchdowns.
Team Captains
Dominique McCoy, Rush Seaver, Blake Smith, Warren Truesdale and Kyle Washington
were selected as captains for the 2014 season by their teammates. Seaver, Truesdale and
Washington were captains last season as well.

LEGRAND STADIUM AT 1ST COMMUNITY CREDIT UNION FIELD // SAN ANGELO, TEXAS
SEPT. 13, 2014 // ATTENDANCE: 5,860
SAN ANGELO – The Angelo State football team waited 69 years to play on campus and the
Rams put on a show in front of a home crowd of 5,870 defeating Western State 38-6 in the
inaugural game at LeGrand Stadium at 1st Community Credit Union Field on Saturday night.
The Rams (1-0) rolled to 607 total yards of offense while limiting Western State (1-1)to just 288
yards of total offense one week after gaining 496 yards. The Mountaineers were held to 82 yards
on the ground.
Kyle Washington threw for a career-high 396 yards, including touchdown passes to Anthony
Yancy and Talon Smith. The 396 passing yards is the ninth most in a single game in ASU history.
The Humble native rushed for 60 yards on 11 carries and added two more touchdowns on the
ground.
The Rams defense forced a three and out on the first drive of the game to give the offense the
ball on the 42-yard line. The first touchdown scored at LeGrand Stadium at 1st Community Credit
Union Field was a 1-yard run by Blake Smith. The senior led the Rams rushing attack with 83
yards on the ground and averaged 4.9 yards per carry.
ASU’s defense limited WSCU to only 50 yards in the first quarter and gave the offense the ball
two more times in the first quarter.
The second drive of the game resulted in the first touchdown pass with an 8-yard pass from
Washington to Smith to push the Rams lead to 14-0. Washington found pay dirt for the first time
on the ground at the end of the first quarter on a 5-yard run to extend the lead to 21-0.
Western State Colorado would score its only points of the game on a 24-yard run by Austin
Ekeler with 3:52 to go in the second quarter.
The Rams defense continued to improve throughout the game. ASU forced a punt to start the
third quarter and would only allow 90 yards of offense in the second half to the Mountaineers.
Dakarai Peciknois returned to the field after sitting out last season due to an injury and
showed his skills in the third quarter. The senior made an acrobatic catch on a 29-yard pass from
Washington to setup an 18-yard field goal by Peter Marquez to make it 24-6.
Pecikonis led all receivers with a career high with 163 receiving yards on nine catches.
The Rams defense was led by Blair Smith’s 11 tackles and Rush Seaver’s nine stops. Clayton
Callicutt had a field day recording three and a half sacks and five tackles for loss.
Overall, ASU forced seven punts and two turnovers on downs during the game while recorded
6.0 sacks and 11 tackles for loss. Doug Elliot gave the defense its first turnover of the season with
his first career interception as a Ram in the fourth quarter.
Yancy would score the final touchdown of the game taking a pitch from Washington 28 yards.
The Rams will open Lone Star Conference play next week against McMurry on Saturday, Sept.
20 at 7 p.m. at LeGrand Stadium at 1st Community Credit Union Field.

SEPT. 20, 2014 // ATTENDANCE: 3,745
ARLINGTON, Texas – No. 5-ranked Colorado State-Pueblo saw its early lead dwindle down to
seven points before turning it on again to beat Angelo State 45-24 on Saturday in the finale of the
Lone Star Football Festival at AT&T Stadium.
CSU-Pueblo (2-0) built up a 21-0 lead with 4:16 to play before halftime. Angelo State (1-1) got its
momentum going on a 22-yard field goal by Reid Layton with 7 seconds left before the break.
The Rams came out of the locker room and quickly got on the board again as quarterback
Kyle Washington exploded for a 78-yard touchdown run. Washington then found Brett Rasberry
for a 16-yard scoring strike to cut the Thunderwolves’ lead down to 21-17 with 10:38 to play in the
third quarter.
After forcing CSU-Pueblo to punt on the following possession, Angelo State had its possible
game-tying drive halted and was forced to punt as well. Josh Sandovall took Sam Fowler’s boom
back 55 yards for a touchdown to give the Thunderwolves a 28-17 advantage with 8:43 left in the
third quarter.
CSU-Pueblo went on to get a 20-yard field goal from Greg O’Donnell, a 40-yard fumble return
for a score by C.J. Roberts and a 12-yard TD run from Cameron McDondle.
Angelo State’s final TD came with 7:05 to play on a 100-yard interception return by junior
linebacker Rush Seaver. The play tied a LSC record and has now been done only 12 times in the
league’s 82-year history.
Quarterback Chris Bonner and receiver Paul Browning helped set the tone for CSU-Pueblo
– which finished with 617 yards of offense – by connecting on a 64-yard TD pass on the game’s
first play from scrimmage.
Bonner finished 14 of 26 for 354 yards and two TDs, while Browning had 148 yards on two
catches. McDondle totaled 160 yards on 13 carries and Chris Ashe added 84 yards and a TD on
10 totes. Ben Estica made 13 tackles and picked off a pass to pace the Thunderwolves’ defense
that forced three fumbles.
Washington went 20 of 34 passing for 173 yards and totaled 139 yards on nine carries –
recording one TD each way for the Rams. Talon Smith made a game-high six catches for 64
yards. Ryan Clapsaddle had a game-high 14 tackles. Paul Mason racked up 81 kick return yards.
CSU-Pueblo returns home next week to face Western New Mexico in its Rocky Mountain
Athletic Conference opener, while Angelo State welcomes Tarleton for its LSC opener on Sept.
21.

LEGRAND STADIUM AT 1ST COMMUNITY CREDIT UNION FIELD // SAN ANGELO, TEXAS

SAN ANGELO – The Angelo State football team took a 35-21 lead into halftime on LSC rival West
Texas A&M but were unable to sustain the momentum in the second half falling 58-41 at LeGrand
Stadium at 1st Community Credit Union Field on Saturday night.
The Rams (2-1, 1-1 LSC) and Buffs (2-2, 1-1 LSC) combined for 1,113 yards of total offense
including 827 in the air. ASU built a 35-21 lead on WT with an explosive first half before the Buffs
rallied in the second half.
ASU struck first after the Ram defense forced a three and out. Ryan Byrd was the focus of the
drive touching the ball on four of the seven plays. The junior transfer scampered for 24 yards to
take it deep into WT territory. Four plays later he carried it three yards in for a touchdown to make
it 7-0 ASU.
The Ram defense limited WT’s offense to just three plays on the next drive. ASU capitalized
with a touchdown. Kyle Washington found Byrd on a screen on the ninth play of the drive for a
19-yard touchdown to put ASU up 14-0. The two team’s offenses would find rhythm as seven-straight
touchdowns would be scored.
West Texas A&M started working the deep pass as Preston Rabb hit Donald Dimitri on a
27-yard pass and Jeremy Watson for a 44-yard pass to put the Buffs deep in ASU territory. Rabb
would keep it for a 1-yard run to cut the lead to 14-7 to start the second quarter.
Angelo State responded with a 10 play 75-yard drive to make it 21-7 ASU in the first quarter.
Washington hit Brett Raspberry for two completions before Byrd scored his third touchdown of
the half on a 30-yard run.
West Texas took the ball down the field 75 yards as Geremy Alridge-Mitchell would score on a
1-yard run to make it 21-14.
Washington again led the Rams down the field finding Dakarai Pecikonis on a 25-yard strike
before hitting Chris Omigie for a 13-yard touchdown for a 28-14 lead.
WT wasted little time responded on the next drive. Rabb hit Jordan Jones for a 27-yard
touchdown to make it 28-21 with just 30 seconds left until the half.
Anthony Yancy electrified the crowd before halftime as he took the ensuing kickoff back
100-yards for a touchdown and a 35-21 lead going into the break. Yancy finished the game with
195 returning yards breaking Garrett Tidewell’s single-game record of 182 set against Texas State
in 2009.
The Buffs came out of the second half and drove the ball down 57 yards in nine plays. Rabb
would find Watson twice on the drive for 10-yard and 22-yard completions. WT would take the
ball to the ASU 12 before the Rams defense forced a 29-yard field goal by Connor Hallabaugh.
The Rams were forced into a three and out and WT took back over. Rabb found Watson on
the second play of the drive for a 56-yard touchdown to cut the Angelo State lead to 35-31 at the
10:29 mark of the third quarter.
Washington got ASU going on the next drive. The junior quarterback hit Pecikonis on a 27-
yard pass and followed it up with a 42-yard pass to Talon Smith to take the ball to the 2-yard line.
Blake Smith scored on a 2-yard run to put ASU up 41-31.
It took the Buffs just four plays to answer. Rabb found Watson on back-to-back passes of 42
and 30 to put the ball at the ASU three. Gabe Tuata scored his first touchdown of the game to cut
the ASU lead to 41-38.
The Rams were forced to punt after the ensuing drive stalled at the WT 37-yard line. Sam
Fowler’s punt was blocked by Alex Tucci and returned 48-yards by LaPear Willrich to give WT its
first lead of the game at 45-41.
Washington would throw his second interception of the game on the next drive after the ball
was hit as the Humble native was throwing. The Rams defense held the Buffs to a 23-yard field
goal by Hollabaugh to extend WT’s lead to 55-41.
ASU turned the ball over on downs at the ASU 28 and Hollabuagh hit his third field goal of the
game. The 33-yard field goal would make the final score 58-41.

ANGELO STATE 45
No. 16 MIDWESTERN STATE 31
MEMORIAL STADIUM // WICHITA FALLS, TEXAS
OCT. 4, 2014 // ATTENDANCE: 7,502
WICHITA FALLS – Angelo State quarterback Kyle Washington ran for a career-high 250 yards
and threw three touchdowns to help lead the Rams to a 45-31 Lone Star Conference win over No.
16-ranked Midwestern State on Saturday at Memorial Stadium.
The Rams (3-1, 2-1 LSC) forced four MSU (3-1, 2-1 LSC) turnovers in the game with Paul
Mason recording an interception and forcing and recovering a fumble as ASU earned its first win
over a ranked opponent since 2012 and its first win in Wichita Falls since the 1999 season. ASU
finished the game with 531 yards of offense and won the turnover battle 4-0 over the Mustangs in
its first road game of the season.
Washington’s career rushing night came on 24 carries for an average of 10.4 yards per carry
and he also found Talon Smith, Dakarai Pecikonis and Chris Omigie for touchdown passes.
Washington, who had a previous career-high with 185 rushing yards last season against the
Mustangs, completed 16 of 28 pass attempts for 169 yards passing in the game and helped
spearhead a second half where the Rams outscored the Mustangs 31-14 after ASU went into
halftime trailing 17-14. Byrd ran for 81 yards on his 10 carries, while Smith had 33 yards on the
night for the Rams who rushed for 362 yards on the night for an average of 8.0 yards per carry.
Washington finished the night with 419 total yards and four touchdowns.
Rush Seaver led the Angelo State defense with 14 tackles, including 2.5 for loss, and Blair
Smith also recorded a double-digit tackle performance with 10. Ryan Clapsaddle added eight
tackles and had an interception, while London Dial had seven tackles and forced a fumble.
Mason had three tackles to go along with his interception and fumble recovery for the defense
which recorded five sacks with Matthew Gholston sacking the MSU quarterback Jake Glover
twice and Richard Franklin, Clayton Callicutt and John Siliga each recording one sack. Jarred
Ross accounted for another takeaway when he recorved the Dial forced fumble.
ASU grabbed the lead which it wouldn’t relinquish on a 39-yard touchdown reception by
Smith from Washington to give the Rams a 28-24 lead with 49 seconds remaining in the third
quarter. The touchdown grab capped a seven-play, 73-yard drive which took only 2:52 off the
clock in a third quarter which saw three lead changes and was ended with a Mason interception.
The fourth takeaway from the ASU offense quickly led to more Ram points as Washington found
Pecikonis for a 6-yard touchdown pass to give the Rams a 35-24 lead.
Jake Glover ended an eight-play drive for the Mustangs with a 14-yard touchdown run to
respond to the Pecikonis touchdown with 11 minutes to play in the game to cut the score to
35-31 before a 19-yard field goal by Peter Marquez gave the Rams a seven-point lead. The field
goal was set up by a 54-yard run by Washington to the 7-yard line, but the Rams had to settle for
the field goal after two runs got the ball to the 2 before a third-down pass into the end zone fell
incomplete.
ASU added to its lead with a 7-yard touchdown run by Byrd to cap an eight-play, 79-yard drive
in which Byrd ran for 56 yards on four carries.
The Rams took a 21-14 lead early in the second half when Washington found Omigie on a
12-yard touchdown pass which was set up by a defensive play by Mason who stripped a MSU
ball carrier to give the ASU offense the ball. The acrobatic touchdown reception by Omigie
capped a seven-play, 49-yard drive which included a fourth down conversion by the Rams when
Washington found a hole along the left side of the offensive line to get a first down on a 4th-and-
1. MSU reclaimed its lead at 24-21 with a 13-yard run by Dante Taylor run to cap a 10-play,
75-yard drive.
Midwestern State claimed a 10-7 lead with an Andy Alkhazshvilly 45-yard field goal and
extended its lead when Glover and Straton hooked up again for a 37-yard touchdown four
minutes into the second quarter.
ASU stopped the 17-0 run with a 4-yard touchdown run by Smith with 5:32 to play in the first
half to finish off a seven-play, 48-yard drive which was set up by a Clapsaddle interception of
Glover. The scoring drive was highlighted by a 17-yard run by Smith to the 11-yard line where he
leaped a defender to gain about five more yards.

ANGELO STATE 40
LEGRAND STADIUM AT 1ST COMMUNITY CREDIT UNION FIELD // SAN ANGELO, TEXAS
OCT. 11, 2014 // ATTENDANCE: 4,863
SAN ANGELO – A 32-yard field goal just missed to the right as time expired as the Angelo State
football team lost 41-40 to Texas A&M-Commerce on Saturday night in a Lone Star Conference
thriller at LeGrand Stadium at 1st Community Credit Union Field.
Texas A&M-Commerce (4-1, 4-0 LSC) scored on a 10-yard run Richard Cooper to take its
second lead of the game with 2:04 to go in the fourth quarter. The Rams drove down to the
Lions 30-yard line and faced a fourth and four. ASU decided on a 47-yard field goal from Peter
Marquez. The kick was wide left but TAMUC was called for defensive offsides to keep the drive
alive. Marquez got another chance seconds later but the kick went wide right.
Ryan Byrd led the Rams on the ground with a career-high 120 yards on 16 carries and one
touchdown. The junior also caught six balls for 80 yards and a score. Kyle Washington threw for
286 yards on 28-of-47 passing and tossed three scores. He carried the ball 22 times for 78 yards
and one touchdown.
Rush Seaver led a Rams defense that forced three interceptions and one fumble recovery with
15 tackles. Richard Franklin, Fred Lawerence and Jarred Ross each picked off TAMUC’s Tyrik
Rollison. Ryan Clapsaddle finished with nine tackles while Blair Smith and Clayton Clallicutt each
were credited with a sack.
The Rams built a 30-17 lead at halftime but the Lions came out of the half and scored on their
opening drive to cut the lead to 30-24. The Rams were forced to punt on their next drive but three
plays later Lawrence intercepted Rollison at the Texas A&M-Commerce 31-yard line.
Six plays later, Marquez kicked a 30-yard field goal to extend ASU’s lead 33-24 in the third
quarter. The Lions continued their comeback cutting the lead to 33-31 after Deric Davis threw one
of two touchdown passes on the night to Vernon Johnson. Johnson finished the game with nine
catches for 113 yards and three touchdowns.
ASU forced a punt on Texas A&M-Commerce’s next drive and took over at its own 38-yard
line. Washington hit Byrd on a 52-yard screen pass to put the Rams at the TAMUC 4-lyard line.
Washington took it in from there to make the score 40-31.
The Lions responded with a six play 90-yard drive as Cooper scored to again make it a
two-point game at 40-38. The Rams offense was forced into a three and out and Texas A&M-Commerce
took the lead on the next drive of the game.
Dakarai Pecikonis, who caught three balls for 40-yards, tied the game up in the first quarter on
a 9-yard pass from Washington to tie the game. Texas A&M-Commerce scored the game’s first
touchdown on a 4-yard pass from Devric to Johnson.
The very next drive the Rams defense recorded a safety. Matthew Gholston tackled Cooper
after a fumble to the goal line for ASU’s first lead at 9-7.
The Rams were forced to punt on its next offensive drive but a muffed catch by TAMUC’s
Shawn Hooks was picked up by Richard Franklin. Washington hit Anthony Yancy for a 13-yard
score to extend the advantage to 16-7.
Rollison hit Johnson for his second touchdown catch of the night to early in the second
quarter and two drives later Saul Martinez hit a 30-yard field goal to give Texas A&M-Commerce
its first lead in the second quarter.
Byrd scored his only rushing touchdown on the next Angelo State drive. The junior ran over a
Lion defender for a 10-yard score to retake the lead at 23-17.
Ross intercepted Rollison two drives later with 3:411 to go in the 2nd quarter. Washington
would find Byrd for a passing touchdown to capitalize on the turnover with just 27 seconds to go
in the half to make it 30-17 at the half.

TEXAS A&M-KINGSVILLE 31
JAVELINA STADIUM // KINGSVILLE, TEXAS
OCT. 18, 2014 // ATTENDANCE: 8,500
KINGSVILLE – Five defensive takeaways, a punt return for a touchdown and 615 total yards of
offense helped lead the Angelo State football team to a 57-31 Lone Star Conference win over
Texas A&M-Kingsville on Saturday at Javelina Stadium.
Kyle Washington led the Rams (4-2, 3-2 LSC) with 292 yards passing and Ryan Byrd ran
for a season-high 143 yards, while ASU also got interceptions from Ryan Clapsaddle and Blair
Smith along with fumble recoveries from London Dial, Jonathan Shannon and Andy Gonzalez.
Paul Mason had the special team’s play of the game with a 38-yard punt return for a touchdown
against the Javelinas (1-6, 0-5 LSC). Byrd finished the night averaging 8.4 yards per carry on 17
rushes and has now rushed for 517 yards this season.
Washington ran for two touchdowns and threw for four more with Talon Smith catching a
career high two touchdowns from Washington and Brett Rasberry and James Hurd catching
one each. Warren Truesdale connected with Dakarai Pecikonis for the final score on a 15-yard
touchdown pass.
Clapsaddle led Angelo State with seven tackles along with Willie Brown and Clayton Callicutt
added six tackles. Rush Seaver recorded three tackles and had a sack for a 3-yard loss which
was his first sack of the season and took his career total to 9.5. Blair Smith, Michael Walling
and Jarred Ross each had five tackles for the Rams who allowed 483 yards of offense by the
Javelinas but more than made up for the yardage with the five takeaways.
The Javelinas opened the game with a 10-0 lead off a 26-yard field goal by Max Lehning to
start the scoring and an 11-yard touchdown pass to Lofton from Mitchell with 7:41 to play in the
first quarter. The Rams would start a 28-0 run with a 6-yard touchdown pass from Washington to
Smith before ASU grabbed its first lead at 14-7 on a 7-yard touchdown run by Washington with 22
seconds remaining in the first quarter. Washington’s touchdown capped a 3-play, 76-yard drive
that took only 27 seconds with the benefit of a 69-yard pass to Chris Omigie that took the Rams
to the 7-yard line. A special teams played gave the Rams a 21-10 lead when Mason returned
a punt 38 yards for a touchdown and the Rams were up 28-10 when Washington scored his
second rushing touchdown of the game on a 1-yard touchdown run with 4:25 remaining in the
first half.
The Javelinas were able to get back on the board with a 60-yard touchdown run by Mitchell
with a little over two minutes to play in the first half, but the scoring play by the home team was
quickly answered by the Rams when Washington found Hurd for a 6-yard touchdown pass with
1:19 remaining in the first half. The final scoring drive of the first half took the Rams six plays
and 63 yards in 53 seconds. TAMUK struck first in the second half with Shawn Vasquez scoring
on a 6-yard touchdown run, but the Rams methodically responded with a 10 play, 70-yard drive
which took 3:23 off the clock and was capped with Rasberry taking in a 31-touchdown pass from
Washington. After Dial recovered a fumble for the Rams, ASU broke into the 50-point club for the
first time this season when Washington connected with Smith for a 15-yard touchdown pass to
give the Rams a 50-24 with 2:36 remaining in the third quarter.
ASU continued adding to its lead when Pecikonis caught a 15-yard touchdown pass from
Truesdale with 12:25 remaining in the game. The touchdown connection capped a seven-play
drive which went 83 yards and gave the Rams a 57-24 lead. Truesdale, who entered the game in
the fourth quarter, threw for 68 yards on four completions.
Washington led the Rams with 206 yards passing and threw for two touchdowns in the first
half and also ran for 24 yards and two touchdowns on four rushes. Hurd led the Rams with four
receptions for 42 yards and the touchdown in the first half and Byrd had two receptions for 37
yards. Byrd led the Rams with 86 yards on 11 carries for a 7.8 yards per carry average in the first
30 minutes of play with a long of 26 yards.
