The old expression might be, "you can't go home again," but for Charlotte head football coach Brad Lambert and his defensive coordinator, Matt Wallerstedt, maybe it should be, "you can go home again, but it probably won't be a lot of fun."
Lambert played at Kansas State from 1983-86. He was an academic all-Big 8 selection from 1984-86 and was a second-team all-Big 8 defensive back in 1986. Wallerstedt played linebacker for the Wildcats during that same era.
Now the two men will lead the Charlotte 49ers into Manhattan for a match-up with No. 19 Kansas State on Saturday.
