The Charlotte 49ers played their hearts out in their in-state shootout with NC A&T, but they ultimately fell 35-31 after coming back from an 18-point deficit. The Aggies scored three touchdowns in the first half, and got a huge defensive stop late in the fourth quarter that ultimately sealed the deal. A&T quarterback Lamar Raynard finished the game 16-26 for 259 yards passing and one touchdown, and Marquell Cartwright rushed for two scores to keep the Niners at bay.
Meanwhile, Hassan Klugh had his best passing game of the season, going 13-29 for 170 yards and three touchdowns.
