After dominating the first half, Charlotte gave up a 21-point third-quarter uprising that carried the defending Conference USA champion Florida Atlantic Owls to a 21-17 victory over the Charlotte 49ers in the league opener for both schools.

"You knew you left some points out on the board and you knew you missed some opportunities," head coach Will Healy said after his 49ers took a 10-0 first-half lead as Charlotte put up 165 yards to the Owls 72.
