Tidwell Other LSC Schools Receiving Votes: helped Angelo State enjoy great field position all game, including a 28-yard kick return to start the N/A Rams final drive. Tidwell has only returned one kick to the house in his third season as a return specialist, but is a threat to take it the distance with every boot. The senior from Boyd, Texas, has averaged 26.1 yards per kick return and 8.1 yards per punt return during his ASU career. Kicking Conundrum With returning starter Ryan Smith on the squad and an offensive shoot-out predicted Jacob Decker probably didn’t think he’d be seeing the field during Saturday’s season-opening contest against Eastern New Mexico, but when it came time for Angelo State to attempt its first try, he got the call. Decker missed from 32 yards away but the freshman will likely get another shot before he’s done as a Ram. Smith had taken all of Angelo State’s field goal and point-after tries during the 2009 season. The senior from San Angelo, missed his first and third PAT attempts, but connected on three others.

SAN ANGELO STADIUM // SAN ANGELO, TEXAS SEPT. 4, 2010 // ATTENDANCE: 3,211

SAN, ANGELO, Texas - Tristan Carter wowed with his first touch and plowed with his last, punching across a nine-yard touchdown pass from Josh Neiswander with 32 seconds left in the game to give Angelo State a 41-38 season-opening win over Eastern New Mexico at San Angelo Stadium Saturday. Carter, a junior running back playing in his first game as a Ram, logged 38 yards on his first career carry but it was his last touch that proved most important. Carter became the first Angelo State running back to rush for more than 100 yards since 2008, and helped ASU erase a 38-34 deficit with time waning. Angelo State (1-0) led by as many as 14 points with 3:54 left in the first half (21-7), but the high-powered Greyhound (1-1) offense wouldn’t give up. Wesley Wood hit Chase Kyser from three yards out with 1:43 left in the half to cut the deficit to a single score, and the Greyhounds outscored the Rams 10-6 out of the break to pull within three at 27-24. Angelo State stretched the lead back to 10 after a 41-yard strike from Neiswander to Pecikones, who made a pair of one-handed grabs in the contest, early in the fourth quarter. Wood answered for ENMU with his fourth touchdown pass of the game and the Greyhounds took their first lead since the first quarater after a three-yard run by Melvis Hawkins with 2:30 left on the game clock. The Rams turned to their two-minute offense and under Neiswander’s direction, marched 54 yards downfield for the score. Neiswander avoided pressure on the Rams final play to find Carter for the first time, open on the right side. Eastern New Mexico attempted four passes on its final possession, the last picked off by ASU cornerback Markeith Jones as time expired. Neiswander finished the game 28-of-48 for 349 yards and hit five different receivers for scores. Carter led Angelo State’s rushing attack with 118 yards on 21 carries. Pecikones had 161 receiving yards on seven catches and senior wide out V’Keon Lacey caught seven balls for 74 yards.
