Home opener football games are always exciting for fans. The start of a new season can rejuvenate the spirits of any fan base. The 2016 season for the Charlotte 49ers football team is a special one. The 49ers are eligible to qualify for a bowl game after getting their first year of FBS football out of the way.
Charlotte has officially made it onto the scene of big boy college football.
The 49ers routed Elon by a score of 47-14 on Saturday, giving Charlotte its first win of the 2016 season. A nice bounce back victory after having 70 hung on them by Louisville nine days prior.
