Charlotte 49ers: Analyzing the Offense heading into C-USA play

The 49ers’ offense has been putting up video game-like numbers through four games, excluding their matchup with the defending champion Clemson Tigers. Charlotte is averaging 38 points and 445 yards per game, a night-and-day difference from 21.7 points and 339 yards per game in 2018 under Brad Lambert. Last year this team relied heavily on their defense to keep them in the game, but this season they are blowing games wide open.

The offense has been making the most of their trips into enemy territory, scoring on 12 of their 14 redzone possessions. Jonathon Cruz has only attempted 2 field goals this season, but that is stemming from the offense getting the job done.
