Charlotte downs Marshall, achieves bowl eligibility, 24-13

Facing a 4th and 10 with less than a minute to play, it was gut-check time for first-year head coach Will Healy. He elected to keep the offense on the field, and instead of kicking a 42-yard field goal to extend their lead to 7, they went for the throat. Reynolds dropped back and lofted a pass into the endzone, and with what seemed like deja-vu, Victor Tucker fought through contact and came down with the biggest catch in 49ers’ history, sealing the senior day victory, 24-13.
