Brad Lambert and the Charlotte 49ers hit the road to the Little Apple — Manhattan, Kansas — to take on Lambert’s alma mater No. 19 Kansas State on Saturday, Sept. 9. After losing to Eastern Michigan, 24-7, the Niners are still seeking their first victory of the 2017 season.
Though this will be the first time Charlotte will face Kansas State, the 49ers have had prior experience against power conference opponents including Kentucky and Louisville. The Niners will enter into a hostile environment this weekend, Kansas State has sold out 34 straight games. Kickoff is scheduled for noon eastern time, or 11 a.
