Rankings from The Sports Network FCS Poll

The 2014 Charlotte 49ers football team represented the University of North Carolina at Charlotte (also called Charlotte or UNC Charlotte) in the 2014 NCAA Division I FCS football season. This was the second season for 49ers football and they were classified as an FCS independent school, meaning they had no athletic conference affiliation for the 2014 season.[1][2] The team was led by head coach Brad Lambert and played its home games on campus at Jerry Richardson Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina. As the team was in their two-year transition period before reclassifying to the NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS), they were ineligible to participate in the FCS playoffs. They finished the season 5–6.

In this rematch the Campbell Fighting Camels were looking for revenge against the Charlotte 49ers for their 52 to 7 loss in the 49ers' debut game the previous year, but the 49ers would prevail again in the return game.

The game began slowly for both teams as Charlotte would score first midway through the first quarter on a 50-yard Blake Brewer field goal. This set the new distance record for field goals at Lane-Barker Stadium. Blake Brewer would connect on a 38-yard field goal at the end of the first quarter to give the 49ers a 6 to 0 lead heading to the second quarter.

The second quarter would be another low scoring affair, with the Camels getting on the board at the close of the half on a Mitchell Brown 25 yard field goal. The score at halftime was 49ers 6, Fighting Camels 3.

The second half of scoring would start as slow as the first half, but a Kalif Phillips 1 yard rushing touchdown would be the first of three touchdowns for both him and the 49ers in the third quarter. Another 1 yard rushing touchdown was followed on the next series for the 49ers by a 10-yard rushing touchdown, both by Phillips, that would put the 49ers ahead heading into the 4th quarter by a score 27 to 3.

The Camels would get into scoring position at the end of the third quarter; but would score their only touchdown of the day on the first play of the fourth quarter on a 25-yard pass from Dakota Wolf to Ben Bolling, the subsequent 2-point conversion attempt would fail. Charlotte would tack on 6 more points on the next drive with true Freshman running back Meatron Thomas's first collegiate touchdown, a 40-yard rush; but the 2-point conversion attempt would fail. Charlotte won the game by a score of 33 to 9.

Top performers for the game include Campbell Quarterback Dakota Wolf, who passed for 187 yards and 1 touchdown. Charlotte Running Back Kalif Phillips had 13 carries for 70 yards and 3 touchdowns. Campbell Receiver Ben Bolling had 6 receptions for 71 yards and a touchdown. The announced attendance of 6,472 set a new record for Lane-Barker Stadium.

First meeting

The "Battle of the Queen City" commenced as these cross-town universities faced each other on the gridiron for the first and likely only time.

Charlotte would score early and often, especially in the first quarter when running back Kalif Phillips would punch it in from 6 yards out to get the scoring started. On the next series for the Niners true Freshman T.L. Ford would get his first collegiate touchdown on a 24-yard pass from quarterback Matt Johnson. Kicker Blake Brewer would add 3 more points with a 26-yard field goal. Then Kalif Phillips would add another 6 points to end the quarter with a 4-yard rushing touchdown. The score heading to the second quarter was 49ers 23, Golden Bulls 0.

Kalif Phillips would tack on his third rushing touchdown early in the second quarter on another 6 yard run. This would tie the team record for single game rushing touchdowns set by Phillips in the final game of the previous season at Morehead State, and matched by him in the season opener at Campbell the week before; making this Phillips' third consecutive 3 rushing touchdown game. Kicker Stephen Muscarello would tack on 3 more points with a 22-yard field goal. With no time left on the clock Blake Brewer would complete the next field goal for the 49ers from 17 yards out to make the halftime score Charlotte 36, Johnson C. Smith 0.

The second half scoring would commence when J.C. Smith quarterback Keahn Wallace would have a pass intercepted by Charlotte free safety Prince Mayela which he took back for a defensive touchdown. Midway through the third quarter Blake Brewer added a 27-yard field goal, and then late in the quarter Stephen Muscarello would add a 22-yard field goal. The game would head to the final quarter with the score 49ers 49, Golden Bulls 0.

Charlotte true Freshmen running back Maetron Thomas would break free for a 60-yard rushing touchdown on the second play of the fourth quarter. On their first series of the quarter the Golden Bulls would get into scoring position to threaten Charlotte's first potential shutout game, but the Eric Amaya field goal attempt from 26 yards out would be blocked by Charlotte linebacker DaQuavius Reid and the ball would be recovered for the 49ers cornerback Cortezz Nixon to preserve the shutout. The game would end with the first shutout in Charlotte program history and a final score of 49ers 56, Golden Bulls 0.

Top performers for the game include Charlotte Quarterback Matt Johnson, who passed for 285 yards and a touchdown. Charlotte Running Back Kalif Phillips had 10 carries for 41 yards and 3 touchdowns. Charlotte Receiver Trent Bostick had 4 receptions for 92 yards.

The 49ers were looking for revenge for the program's first ever loss the year before in Charlotte. They would return the favor in Durham, but not before surviving a fourth quarter scoring flurry by the Eagles.

On the first play from scrimmage 49ers' quarterback Matt Johnson would complete a 65-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Austin Duke to give the Niners an early lead. On their next series the Niners would get kicker Blake Brewer in range for a 24-yard field goal. At the end of the quarter Brewer would add another field goal, this time from 28 yards, to take the Niners into the second quarter with a 13 to 0 lead.

Charlotte running back Kalif Phillips would score his first touchdown of the day and the quarter with a 2-yard rush on Charlotte's first second quarter series. On the 49ers' next series Phillips would punch it in from 4 yards out, but a muffed snap would cost the Niners the extra point. Late in the half Eagles' quarterback Malcolm Bell, who had substituted in for starter Quinn Billerman a few series earlier, would complete a 24-yard pass to Anas Hasic, but 49ers safety Desmond Cooper would force Hasic to fumble. The ball was then recovered by 49ers's defensive back Branden Dozier and returned 52 yards for a touchdown. The 49ers would head into the locker room at the half with a 33 to 0 lead.

On the 49ers' second series of the second half running back Maetron Thomas would get the 49ers' their final score of the game on 6 yard touchdown run. The score heading into the fourth quarter would be 49ers 40, Eagles 0.

On the first play of the fourth quarter the Eagles would finally get on the board with a 28-yard touchdown pass from Malcolm Bell to Adrian Wilkins. On the next series, 49ers' quarterback Lee McNeill would thrown an interception to the Eagle's Jeremy Thompson who would return it 26 yards for another Eagles' touchdown. Three plays into the Eagle's next series would result in a Malcolm Bell 15 yard touchdown pass to Jvon Simmons. On their next series, the 49ers would get into scoring range on a Matt Johnson 70 yard rush; but after the Niners were unable to convert another first down, Blake Brewer would miss a 24-yard field goal. On the next series the Eagles' Andre Clarke would score the Eagle's fourth touchdown of the quarter from 4 yards out. Charlotte would go 3-and-out on their next possession and return the ball to the Eagles; but on their next play Malcolm Bell's pass attempt would fall into the hands of the 49ers' defensive end Tank Norman. Despite the four touchdown fourth quarter effort from Central, the 49ers would hang on to the lead to complete the revenge game with the final score of 40 to 28.

Top performers for the game include N.C. Central Quarterback Malcolm Bell, who passed for 337 yards and two touchdowns with one interception. Charlotte Running Back Kalif Phillips had 14 carries for 104 yards and 2 touchdowns. N.C. Central Receiver Adrian Wilkins had 7 receptions for 129 yards and a touchdown.

First meeting

The 49ers would face their second ever CAA opponent as they traveled to nearby Elon to tackle the Phoenix.

Elon would get into scoring position first in the game on their first series, but John Gallagher's 50 yard field goal attempt would fail. On the very next drive, Charlotte's Matt Johnson would connect on a 19-yard touchdown pass to Austin Duke. The 49ers would head to the second quarter up 7 to 0.

The Phoenix would get on the board on their first drive of the second quarter on a Mike Quinn 14 yard touchdown pass to Kierre Brown to tie the score at 7 all. This would prove to be the only score of the quarter as both teams headed into halftime tied.

Elon would score first in the second half, capping their first drive with a John Gallaghar 24 yard field goal and taking their first lead of the game. The 49ers would march down the field on the very next series and tie the score on a Blake Brewer 27 yard field goal. The Phoenix would again get Gallaghar into range and retake the lead on a 26-yard field goal. Elon would get back into field goal range late in the third quarter, but Gallaghar would miss his second field goal of the day from 42 yards out. The score headed to the fourth quarter was Elon up 13 to 10.

The Phoenix would get into field goal range yet again on the first drive of the fourth quarter, but Gallaghar would miss his third field goal of the day, this time from 49 yards away. On the 49ers next drive Blake Brewer would split the uprights from 43 yards away to tie the game at 13 all. Mid-way through the quarter Elon would cap a long drive with their second touchdown of the day on a 5-yard pass; another Mike Quinn connection to Kierre Brown. The Niners would get into Elon territory on their next drive but Matt Johnson's pass attempt on 2nd down would be intercepted by Elon's Odell Benton. Charlotte would get the ball back with a little over a minute left in the game. The Niners would get to Elon's 22 yard line but an incomplete pass would be followed by a scrambling throw from Johnson to Corey Nesmith in the endzone corner for an apparent touchdown; but two penalties were called on the play against Charlotte. A holding call would be declined in favor of an illegal forward pass as Johnson had stepped over the line of scrimmage. With no time left on the clock and the penalty also carrying a loss of down, Elon would hold out and give the 49ers their first loss of the season, 20 to 13.

Charlotte Receiver Austin Duke would become the first player in program history to gain over 1000 yards for his career in the first half. Charlotte Running back Kalif Phillips would become the program's first rusher to also get over 1000 yards during the second half.

Top performers for the game include Elon Quarterback Mike Quinn, who passed for 331 yards and 2 touchdowns with 1 interception. Elon Running Back B.J. Bennett had 18 carries for 83 yards. Elon Receiver Kierre Brown had 13 receptions for 81 yards and 2 touchdowns.

The 49ers were looking for revenge against their first ranked opponent of the year, the Charleston Southern Buccaneers.

The Bucs would score first on their second series of the game. An 11-yard touchdown pass from Austin Brown to Christian Reyes. Charlotte would tie the score two players later off a Matt Johnson 74 yard pass to Austin Duke. Later in the quarter Daniel Croghan would step in for Brown and complete a 21-yard touchdown pass to Mike Holloway to retake the lead for the Bucs. The Bucs would tack on another touchdown near the end of the quarter off a Christian Reyes 45 yard rush. The first half would end with Charleston Southern up 21 to 7 on the 49ers.

On the first play of the second quarter Charlotte rusher Kalif Phillips would break off a 77-yard touchdown run. Halfway through the quarter Bucs quarterback Daniel Crohgan would stretch Charleston Southern's lead with a 3-yard touchdown run. On the next series Charlotte would get kicker Blake Brewer in range to make his first field goal of the day from 36 yards out. Both teams would head in at the half with the score Charleston Southern 28, Charlotte 17.

To start the second half the Bucs would string together a 12 play drive that would be capped by another Christian Reyes 4 yard touchdown rush. On the next series 49er Matt Johnson would get a 23-yard rushing touchdown. On their next possession Charlotte would get another Blake Brewer field goal, this time from 25 yards. The score at the end of the third quarter would be Bucs up on the 49ers, 34 to 27.

On their second play of the fourth quarter, Matt Johnson would connect on another long passing touchdown to Austin Duke for 61 yards and to tie the game again. On the next series Charleston Southern would cap a 15 play, clock-eating drive, with an Austin Brown 5 yard touchdown pass to Nathan Perera to regain the lead. The 49ers would tie it again on the next series on a Kalif Phillips 34 yard rushing touchdown. On the final drive of regulation the Bucs would get it to the 49ers' 21 yard line and run the clock down for a game winning field goal attempt, but David Kennedy's 38 yard attempt would fail. The teams headed into overtime tied up at 41.

The Niners would get the ball first in the program's first ever overtime period. The Niners would quickly get it to the Bucs 8 yard line, but a false start call would back them up. Matt Johnson would rush the ball to the 1 yard line, but a holding call would negate the run. The 49ers would have to settle for a field goal, but Blake Brewer's 30 yard kick would sail left. Charleston Southern would then get their turn and would win the game on another Christian Reyes rushing touchdown, this time from 1 yard out. The final score in overtime was Charleston Southern 47, Charlotte 49ers 41.

Despite the loss, the top performers for the game were all on the home team. Matt Johnson passed for 305 yards, 2 touchdowns and 2 Interceptions. Kalif Phillips would have 21 carries for 196 yards and 2 touchdowns. Austin Duke would have 12 receptions for 251 yards and 2 touchdowns.
