The Charlotte 49ers return to Jerry Richardson Stadium this week after a one-week hiatus from the Queen City. Last week, the 49ers traveled to Philadelphia to play Temple in their final non-conference game on their schedule. Despite an impressive performance by the running game, namely Kaliff Phillips, Charlotte fell to Temple 48-20.
Charlotte opens Conference USA play with a matchup against Old Dominion. Last season, the 49ers fell to the Monarchs in a nail-bitter 37-34 on the road in Norfolk. In fact, Charlotte had a twelve point halftime lead and put up more than 500 total yards of offense on Old Dominion.
