Saxton, a freshman from Monroe, N.C., burst on the scene to play in big part in Emory & Henry's 41-12 thumping of Ferrum on Saturday, marking the first win in the inaugural game of head coach Curt Newsome's tenure.  Saxton, a transfer from Appalachian State University, went 17-for-28 for 329 yards and five touchdowns in his first collegiate action.  The five touchdowns tie for the third-most in program history, joining the five throw by Kyle Boden in 2013.  Saxton completed passes to eight different receivers, hooking up with them on six completions of 20 or more yards.  It was the first time E&H had started a freshman quarterback since the 2008 season.
