CHARLESTON -- Charleston Southern unleashed a brutal running game on Saturday and wore down the Charlotte 49ers on the way to a 36-14 victory at Buccaneers Field.
The Bucs (8-1), ranked 24th in the FCS coaches poll, gained 375 on the ground, led by Christian Reyes, who had 181 yards on 26 carries.
The 49ers (4-4) trailed 21-14 early in the fourth quarter, and appeared to get a break when they recover a Bucs fumble at the Charlotte 3. But 49ers running back Alan Barnwell was tackled in the end zone for a safety, and although the 49ers' Damarrell Alexander recovered the ensuing free kick, the momentum had fully shifted to Charleston Southern.
The 49ers turned the ball over twice later in the fourth quarter on an interception thrown by quarterback Matt Johnson and a fumble by Barnwell. Both turnovers led to Charleston Southern touchdowns.
Johnson was Charlotte's leading rusher with 47 yards on 13 carries. He also complete 16 of 31 passes for 183 yards, but no touchdowns. Trent Bostick caught five passes for 114 yards and Austin Duke caught six for 57 yards.
The 49ers return to the coast next week with a game against sixth-ranked Coastal Carolina.

unc concord loses again to a no name school. Who even knew Charleston southern had a football team.
Apparently unc concord fans don't know they have a team either as no fans ever show up.
Keep your chin up. Dont get discouraged UNCC 49ers.
Your UNC 49ers school became a complete sports university with the addition of college football playing at the D1A level. Better late than never.
ASU aka UNCB UNC Boone by contrast will get Law, Medical, Dental and Pharmacy schools by 2025 according to insider sources.
ASU UNCB UNC Boone will join the Sun Belt D1A conference in 2014.
We estimate that by 2150 UNCC 49ers may be near the level with UNC Boone and will continue struggling to keep pace as a bottom feeder.
