The Charlotte 49ers look to defend Jerry Richardson Stadium for the second consecutive week, this time against the Eagles of Eastern Michigan. Last week in front of a sellout crowd, the 49ers snapped their 11-game losing streak in comfortable fashion, beating Elon 47-14. Charlotte’s offense was firing on all cylinders, racking up 506 total yards. The defense responded well a week after a rough showing against Louisville, forcing three Phoenix turnovers including a fumble recovery for a touchdown. So much for the first win being the hardest to get.
Week three offers Eastern Michigan for Charlotte football. Both teams come into Jerry Richardson Stadium with identical records at 1-1.
