Wreak havoc.
Ryan Osborn's fire is etched into his defenses. He wants a unit that brings back-breaking turnovers and a hunger for disruption, and the defensive coordinator's energy is meant to be infectious.
He stood on the sideline of Saturday's 27-26 win over Gardner-Webb and simply requested: Go make a play, we need it.
You don't have to tell Al-Ma'hi Ali twice. Reid Williford and Mike Kelly-Lawson have been around Charlotte long enough to know where a defensive play falls in the hunt for gold.
Stephen Sings V and Demon Clowney wanted in on the action too — each had a sack, one started the fourth-quarter comeback and the other helped clinch it — and the unit that played a dominant half in the opener to give the 49ers a lead against James Madison put together 60 minutes in round two at Jerry Richardson Stadium, and left no doubt.
