The fourth season of Charlotte football will begin this Thursday, as the 49ers face a tall task traveling to #19 Louisville. This is Charlotte’s first matchup against a ranked opponent in their brief time in FBS play. As for last season, the first in FBS, Charlotte opened the season with two wins, including one in the Georgia Dome against Georgia State. But the 49ers would drop the remaining of their games, finishing the season 2-10. While expectations surrounding the Charlotte program were minuscule, a two-win season is not how Niner Nation saw the season finishing.
The game against Louisville will be played at Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium at 7 p.
