Tucker Named C-USA Offensive Player of the Week

Charlotte 49ers redshirt sophomore wide receiver Victor Tucker has been named the Conference USA Offensive Player of the Week after leading the 49ers to a 24-13 win over Marshall that clinched the program's first-ever bowl eligibility.

TUCKER'S DAY
Tucker had two fourth-quarter touchdowns as Charlotte rallied from a 13-10 deficit to notch its school-record sixth win of the season. Tucker scored the 49ers' go-ahead touchdown on a five-yard run and sealed the 49ers' fourth-straight victory with an acrobatic 25-yard TD catch on fourth-and-10 with 48 seconds left to play.

The 49ers leading receiver finished the day with five catches for 121 yards.
