The University of South Carolina football team will host the Charlotte 49ers in a non-conference matchup on September 24, 2022, the two schools announced Wednesday. It will be the first meeting on the gridiron between the two universities.
Charlotte, a member of Conference USA, has logged an overall record of 17-39 since beginning play in the 2013 season. They competed as an FCS Independent for two seasons before making their debut at the FBS level in 2015. The 49ers are coached by Brad Lambert who, in 2011, took on the responsibility of building the upstart program from scratch.
