Charlotte 49ers
In their final home game of the season, the Charlotte 49ers lost to Rice 28-7, marred by a school-record low of 158 yards of offense. The defense put in a strong performance, forcing three turnovers, but the offense was unable to capitalize on the opportunities presented to them. C.J Burton registered his second interception in four games. Demetrius Knight followed with an interception return to the Rice 15-yard line, which resulted in the 49ers’ only score. Head coach Biff Poggi noted the need for improvement, as Charlotte currently ranks 112th in offense and 85th in turnover differential. As the team heads into their final game of the season, they will be hampered by numerous injury concerns.
