Charlotte silences FIU in a shootout, 45-33

The Charlotte 49ers took their talents to South Beach on Friday night with a solid chance at changing the narrative for their presence in 2021 as a threat in Conference USA. After dropping a heartbreaker in Champaign a week prior, Charlotte scored a decisive 45-33 victory for their first win over the Panthers in program history.

It seems as if every passing week we’re rambling on and on about the performance of Chris Reynolds, but to be fair that constant rambling has been warranted all season. Logging 203 yards through the air with 4 scores on a 78% completion rate, it’s hard not to smile with a mischievous grin when announcers use his name in the same conversation as Doug Flutie.
