Charlotte Upset #23 Tulane

Article By: icrashedmycarr

(New Orleans, LA) - UPSET ALERT! The Charlotte 49ers take down #23 Tulane on the road in New Orleans this past week with final score of 42 - 34 as Charlotte looks to spoil the party for the big AAC favorites. Looking to the final two blocks of NDL S32, the 49ers have three ranked opponents that they need to beat to close out the year. With Tulane beaten, only #19 USF and #22 FAU remain until the season finale on the road at UAB.

The Charlotte Offense was lead by none other than QB Max Brown who was 20/30 on the days pass attempts. Brown threw for 365 yards, 3 TDs, and 2 INTs.

The offense was spread throughout the wide receiver room as Charlotte struggled mightily to establish an early running game. WR Sean Brown made 6 catches for 151 yards and scored 1 TD on the day. WR Duane Thomas made 5 receptions for 113 yards and 1 TD.

The heavy lifting came primarily from the defense as they always tend to do week in and week out. DE Demon Clowney spearhead the pass rush and finished the day with 9 TKLs, 4 TFLs, and 2 sacks. LB Reid Williford had 1 sack and 1 forced fumble on a crucial 3 & Goal drive late in the 3rd quarter for Charlotte that fumble shifted any momentum that Tulane tried to build late in the game.

The 49ers Gem of the Game goes to CB Maguire Neal who recorded 7 tackles and 2 INTs against Tulane that helped Charlotte build a 21-0 lead at the 2 minute warning of the first half. From then on, Charlotte would never relinquish the lead.

As the AAC race continues to heat up USF and FAU continue to climb the national rankings while Tulane stays at #24 and no other team show any movement. Anything can happen in the final two blocks of the AAC play. It is THE conference to watch as the season wraps up.

Charlotte Kickoff against #19 USF at Raymond James Stadium this Saturday. Kickoff is set for 12:00pm EST.
