It was the last game of the season. On the road. At FAU, the defending Conference USA Champions. Charlotte had put together an improved season. The 49ers had matched their record for most wins at the FBS level and most wins in C-USA play. While they'd fallen short of their goals of becoming bowl eligible, they could still finish on a high note with the young program's best FBS season to date.
With 25 seconds remaining on the clock and the game tied at 24, overtime loomed. The 49ers were driving, but a fourth down left the team to resort to a 56-yard field goal attempt. Cue true freshman Jonathan Cruz.
