The Charlotte 49ers football team had to postpone their matchup with Florida Atlantic (FAU) due to Hurricane Matthew. The game was pushed to Sunday at noon, an odd start time for a college football game. Despite the delay, the Niners decided they would not wait any longer for their first Conference USA victory.
Hasaan Klugh got his first start of the year, and the team did not look back. Klugh, a redshirt sophomore, got involved early in the game. After FAU got on the board first with a field goal, Klugh scored on a two-yard draw play at the 4:17 mark of the first quarter.
