An unexpected offensive showcase totaling 991 combined yards electrified the crowd at Kidd Brewer Stadium. Darrynton Evans ran for 234 yards and 3 scores for the Mountaineers, proving to be too much for the 49ers as they escaped with a 56-41 victory.
Charlotte’s special teams unit has a ton of work to do. Two weeks in a row they have given up a return touchdown, this week coming at the untimeliest moment in the game. Trailing 49-41 with under three minutes to play, Charlotte attempted an onside kick; Jackson Van Sickles kick bounced directly into the arms of Darrynton Evans, who took it to the house for six sealing the Mountaineer victory.
