The Charlotte 49ers return home, crossing off another first in the program’s history. Last week, the 49ers defeated Florida Atlantic to win the first Conference USA game in the short history. Head coach Brad Lambert made the long-awaited quarterback change, giving Hasaan Klugh the nod, and it paid dividends. Klugh showcased his dual-threat ability, putting up 277 total yards and four touchdowns through the air and ground.
But it wasn’t just Klugh that balled out against Florida Atlantic. There was balance to the offense, something that was present in the victory over Elon. Kalif Phillips added another impressive performance to his legacy, gaining 132 yards.
