It was a cloudy and chilly afternoon at Jerry Richardson Stadium when the Charlotte 49ers football team (4-4, 3-2 C-USA) faced off against the Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles (3-4, 2-2 C-USA). The loyal Charlotte fans were treated to a convincing win at 20-17.
The 49ers were returning from a hard-fought loss (13-21) at Middle Tennessee. The 49ers came into the game hoping to improve their record to the .500 mark on the season.
Charlotte came out strong with intensity. On their first drive, they scored when redshirt senior, Hasaan Klugh, sprinted over the right side with a convoy of blockers for a five-yard touchdown.
