The Charlotte 49ers have enjoyed the comforts of home their last two games, but now they must head out on the road. They will take on the Georgia State Panthers at 7 p.m. ET on Saturday at Center Parc Stadium. Charlotte have to know they'll be fighting an uphill battle given the 19-point spread they are up against.
There's no need to mince words: the 49ers lost to the Maryland Terrapins last week, and they lost bad. The score wound up at 56-21. Charlotte was in a tough position by the half, with the score already sitting at 35-14. Despite the loss, they had strong showings from QB Xavier Williams, who passed for two TDs and 191 yards on 35 attempts, and WR Victor Tucker, who snatched two receiving TDs.
Georgia State came within a touchdown against the North Carolina Tar Heels last week, but they wound up with a 35-28 loss. A silver lining for Georgia State was the play of QB Darren Grainger, who passed for three TDs and 186 yards on 24 attempts in addition to picking up 75 yards on the ground.
With the two teams each stumbling in off of a defeat, both will be hungry for the win. We'll see which team satisfies their hunger and which team leaves with an empty stomach.
