However, the 49ers got off to a sluggish start and fell to the Blazers on the road 28-7.
Charlotte (2-3, 1-1 C-USA) came out of the gates slow again for the second straight week, allowing back to back touchdowns on the first two possessions for the Blazers. UAB (3-1, 1-0 C-USA) scored on the opening drive of the game when AJ Erdely found Andre Wilson for a 35-yard touchdown.
