JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (AP) Kevin Saxton completed 23 of 37 passes for 244 yards and a game winning 7-yard touchdown pass to Tyree Ward with 55 seconds left to help lead Division III Emory & Henry to a 27-24 win over East Tennessee State on Saturday.
East Tennessee State (0-4) held a 24-20 for much of the fourth quarter after a 45-yard scoring strike from Austin Herink to Dalton Ponchillia with 14:13 left in the game. But after the Emory & Henry defense forced a turnover on downs with 2:08 remaining, Saxton engineered a 4 play, 51-yard TD drive to win it.
Kelman Simpson caught five passes for 82 yards and a touchdown for the Wasps. Ward added five catches and 53 yards.
Herink led the Buccaneers with 261 yards passing with a touchdown and an interception.
This was the first meeting between the schools since 1953.
