NCCU 40
Charlotte 13



The Charlotte 49ers suffered their first loss of the season, 40-13, to North Carolina Central, Saturday at Jerry Richardson Stadium.The loss snaps the 49ers season-opening two-game win streak and came in the final game of a three-game homestand in front of a standing room only crowd of 16,630.

In a turnabout from the first two games, it was NCCU that scored in each of the quarters, NCCU that scored on offense, defense and special teams and NCCU that won the turnover battle.

Charlotte (2-1) accumulated over 500 yards of offense, but committed a season-high seven turnovers, while the Eagles (2-1) started the second half with a 100-yard kickoff return and added a 48-yard interception return seven minutes later to break open a 13-0 halftime lead.

The Eagles played very well against us and I congratulate them on a good win. They showed me what a team of experienced players can do to a team of kids playing their third college game ever. In many ways we were just over-matched. There were bright spots, however they were strange bright spots. Charlotte had 533 years of offense to NCCU's 385. Charlotte had 31 first downs to NCCU's 15. How do you lose 40-13 when you lead these stats so dramatically? Charlotte had 7 turnovers to NCCU's 3. We certainly have some things to work on in practice this week.
