The Charlotte 49ers scored 29 unanswered points in the second half, rallying to beat 25th-ranked Gardner-Webb 53-51 at Richardson Stadium.
Gardner-Webb (4-2) led 45-24 at the end of the third quarter before the 49ers (4-2) rallied.
Charlotte took its first lead when quarterback Matt Johnson hit true freshman Trent Bostick on a 48-yard touchdown pass with 3:15 left. That put the 49ers up 46-45. After a Gardner-Webb fumble, the 49ers' Alan Barnwell scored on a 56-yard run, giving what would eventually be the points with 2:19 left.
The Bulldogs came right back, scoring on a 1-yard run by Juanne Blount with 31 seconds left, making it 53-51. But a two-point conversion pass by quarterback Lucas Beatty fell incomplete and the 49ers had their come-from-behind victory.

Amazing! That's the way to keep playing to get a hard fought win. I am so proud of my Niners.
Way to go Matt and coach Lambert and his 9ers from Denver and E Lincoln. Outstanding win. We'd love to find that rascal who puts you down on here. Got a hunch its that bandwagon fan. Dont let us find him.
The incoherent guy who types in all caps is an ASU fan. Moonshine & well water is his only two options up there.
For a program that redshirted all but a handful of freshmen in its incoming class --- we have an awful lot to be proud of today in defeating an opponent ranked #24/#25.
Gardner-Webb brought a team with size, experience, and depth. They amount of scholarship players they had available today likely doubled the amount Charlotte had. Our team of redshirt freshmen and walk-ons just beat a team it had no business beating and they did it in one of the most exciting games I've had the pleasure of witnessing.
Our walk-on long snapper stepped up when LaBianca had his knee injured. Our walk-on punter played his best game, easily. Casey Perry looked mean & nasty out there and we may have the good problem of too many good starting O-linemen when Blitch & LaBianca get healthy. And so many scoring weapons on offense!
Our defense - especially our very young D-line - has been getting challenged by the coaches. Maybe deservedly so. Our defense led the way to the comeback with stellar play in the 4th but we need them to be just as nasty in the 1st, 2nd, & 3rd qtrs.
Have fun celebrating the win tonight, everyone!
He isn't an ASU fan, he has been throwing ASU 2003 in there but when questioned he knows nothing about the ASU program. He is just a entertaining loser.

GET jinx loser bum uselsss sportswriter SOREHEAD AWAY FROM THE UNC 49ERS who will phuck up a wet dream like his other pals ... YIKEZ !!! He obviously cant resist !!!
Only half decent sportswriters at the CO are Scott and Wertz
unc concord fans are pathetic. 3 minutes into the 3 quarter and there are MAYBE 150 fans in the stands. What a joke of fan support.
You won but your fans wouldn't know it.
I haven't seen a come back like this from a high school team in many a moons.

is a pathetic little bitch with a small flaccid penis. He has carried on his shtick for YEARS which goes to show how miserable his sorry life really is. Coming to this blog is the first thing he thinks about when he wakes up in he morning...
His daddy used to abuse him when he acted out as a child and deep down inside he really enjoyed it. Now he gets off on acting like an idiot and pissing people off. He misses that 'loving feeling.'
He wants people to think he is in the military but really he wants to whores himself out to any big strong man in uniform. Tim Tebow REALLY makes him wet!
He also has an obsession with observer sports writers and an crApp state sideline photographer. Ultimately he is a little pussy coward who hides anonymously behind a computer and is afraid to come out of the closet and talk to a real life person.

That is because appy has lost all of its close games this year.
Great comeback win Niners against a good GW team. Keep it goin' GO NINERS!!!
your fan support is terrible.
Announced 12K but there was more like 4500-5000 people there.
The newness has already worn off, pathetic.
At 3:55 - if you are the one that seems to find something about every aspect of the 49ers football program, do us a favor, either go back to your video games or actually grow a pair and don't post as anonymous.
Since you seem to only be an expert at pointing out bad things about our program, do us all a favor, actually watch a football game or at least read "Football for Dummies".
Games are always empty during Fall breaks for football. That's why the larger programs either schedule an off weekend or an away game.
So to reiterate, everyone has the right to speak, however try to educate yourself because spewing the babble that keeps coming from mouth.
You are wrong here-
"Games are always empty during Fall breaks for football."
Truth hurts, unc concord fans are already pathetic. The CO is desperately trying to pump up the coverage but no one cares not even your own fans as they don't even show up.
At 7:11
And your vast experience comes from what?
What great team do you support?
It is so obvious that your most likely an ACC fan that is quite concerned with the start of another football program in NC, and they way most of those teams are playing, I'd be as well.
If not, please explain your extreme negativity to all things charlotte.
When we win, it's because we played a "high school" team.
When we lose, we should fire the coach.
When the stands aren't full for a Fall Break game, we should bulldoze the stadium.
We have a bye a couple of weeks from now, I truly hope you can find negativity behind that.
Like I stated earlier, please inform us of the great institution you support so that we can praise their great accomplishments.
It doesn't matter who I support.
Sorry you can't except the fact that you had a few 1,000 so called fans in the stands.
Pictures don't lie. All you had to was flip on the TV and it showed the metal bleachers and sections were completely empty.
At7:11-
I agree with 9:07.
I assume you notice that no one is going to respond to your obvious lack of education regarding the name of our school, so your sarcasm is quite pathetic.
I have one question for you, what are you expecting from this first year program?
Since we beat a ranked team this weekend, it seems that your only excuse this weekend is the lack of student turnout. Get a life. I think that we all noticed the obvious lack of student turnout, but that doesn't take away from the win.
I'm certain that you do not have an actual answer to the question above, so I assume that you will continue to rant about things that you are misinformed about.
We look forward to your comments next week.

Agreed that student turnout was disappointing. The school is growing that with that comes the growing pains. The students are adjusting to having a football program.
But with the above said, your opinions would be much more respected if everything that comes out of your mouth is negative.
Outside of the turnout, what was your actual opinion of the game (if you even watched the game)
At 9:19 -
We were actually at the game, how about you.
I think the question regarding the team you support is relevant.
The favor that you purposely misstate the name of the team, you are obviously a UNC Carboro fan. The way their season is going, including no fan turnout, I would be embarrassed to mention it as we'll.
You guys have over a century of history with nothing to be proud of, not withstanding basketball.
Have a great rest of a season.
How does the bottom of the conference feel.
Thanks David for making sure to keep all these comments anonymous so all the trolls can continue to dirty up the comments section! To those saying there was nobody there because you saw it on TV, you only saw the student section. Yes, it was empty, and that is ridiculous and embarrassing, even if it was Fall Break. But most of the alumni stuck around. The home side remained 80% full throughout the game. Don't try to claim you know what the attendance was sitting on your couch. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if most of these trolls are Appies, because we just had an incredible win over a ranked opponent, and their season is slipping away from them with yet another loss. They have nothing else to do but try to bring us down with them. But you know what? There's absolutely nothing you can do to ruin this one for us! I will remember this game for many many years! GO NINERS!!!
the 3-4K of fans you speak of have already forgotten about it.
unc concord better get some fans soon
At 9:49
I agree.
We were also at the game and the only thing that can be said is WOW.
The difference between actual fans and couch potatoes/Madden Football is that fans are behind their team no matter what.
The 49ers have done a great job building this team from scratch. From marketing, sales, donorship, sponsorship, recruiting, construction, etc., everyone has done a superb job.
The Nay Sayers continue to try and pick holes in our progress, so go ahead and waste your time, we will keep screaming "forty" "niners" even louder.
This is a first year team that has a first year schedule including 3 games with top 25 teams in FCS. They are 4-2 with some tough upcoming games, however as stated earlier, we will still be loyal fans because history has already been written and we look forward to the future (the good times and the bad times).
Go 49'ers. I live in Raleigh and I have FSL's. I drive 3 hours to every home game ( leaving at 6:00 am so that we can tailgate). I attend every game and intend to continue.
That is what a program is built around.
10:07, you are so sad. Go cry about whatever team you support having an awful season and let us enjoy this. I'll say it again, YOU WILL NOT RUIN THIS FOR US! There were way more than 3-4K fans, and you can bet your pathetic meaningless existence that we will all remember this one. Until this game, we have sold out every game standing room only. As I said before, it was only because the students slacked off that we didn't have those same numbers. We have fans, does your team? Because it sounds like to me you'd rather waste your time trashing another team than cheering for your own.
GO NINERS!!!!!
For what it's worth, over 10,000 tickets at the App State game went unsold. Maybe their students were on fall break, too?
I wouldn't be able to guess the actual attendance for App... since their games are not televised. But I was happy to see the Charlotte alum side stay full for the ending and disappointed with the student side that was empty from the start.
Ah well. It was still nice to essentially clinch a winning record for the season on the same afternoon that App essentially clinched a losing record. I don't understand why they feel a need to muck up the comments section with walls of unintelligle text no one reads, but it doesn't hurt anyone any so whatever.
Say all you want, your first season should be filled to the brim with only having 12K seats. Its not even close to happening.
The newness has worn off so fast its amazing. There are no unc concord fans....well maybe 4-5K of them.
Our stadium has over 15,000 seats with extra standing room, and for three straight games, it was indeed filled to the brim. Saturday's game broke that streak simply because of the students being on Fall Break. So instead of 16,000 fans, we had 12,000. Once again, you are pathetic for trying to take cheap shots at our program when you simply have the facts so far off it's not even funny. Okay, I promise I'll stop feeding this sad little troll.
unc concord continues the big lie about the amount of fans. The camera doesn't lie.....no one was there mid-way into the 3rd quarter...NO ONE!!!
At 7:17
WHO CARES!!!!!!! We get it, you are not a fan of UNC Charlotte. Find a new subject or at least get back to your homework. It's past 7:00 so it's close to your bedtime and I'm certain that the multiplication table will not solve itself.
You are either a very scorned person or you literally have no life.
How does the lack of attendance affect you. I'll answer for you, it doesn't.
I've been to every game this season and this was the only game where the seats were not filled at the start of the game.
The stadium holds 15,800 and I can guarantee that there were indeed standing room only at the previous games. Indeed the 3rd quarters have emptied the stands because we were either up by 30+ or we were down by +30. But the tickets that can be purchased have been maxed out which is what the AD should care about. Payed tickets equates into $$$.
Why don't you come to a game an actually view it for yourself. I'm certain that most of us on this blog would be more than willing to buy you a ticket (if your parents will let you out of the house).
I think that we can all agree that improvements can be made in the future, however this is a first year program and unlike the obvious stellar program you support, our program was gifted from the GODS with no room for improvement.
I have no interest in watching high school football on Saturdays, unc concord is just a small step up from HS.
I go to my teams games on Saturday's.
But thanks so much for the offer and thinking of me. Good luck, you will need it and I will certainly continue to give you my opinion.
Oh I'm sure you will continue to voice your opinion. You're obviously pretty much obsessed with us. I would go back and take a picture of the home side of the stadium toward the end of the game from my DVR recording to prove you wrong about no one being there, but you're not really worth the trouble. Thanks for the good luck, but I'm pretty sure your boys in baby blue will need it a lot more than we will.
I've got a suggestion to all on this blog. Let the fan of UNC Carboro or whoever his team is (which he seems to keep to himself) keep blogging and we can just simply ignore him in the future.
Just like his lonely life at home, he can arouse himself with his factless comments.
We all know that he is jealous and can only find negative in everything. If the 49ers would have won by 10 touchdowns over (even his great team) with a complete sell out ( with fans on top of neighboring buildings), he would find something negative to say. I'm sure it would had been something about traffic, weather, the Earth's rotation, solar flares, etc., so please let this be the last rant regarding this sad person.
If we are to use this blog to make comments, please use it to chat amongst 49ers fans and simply ignore this "person".
So person in question, keep making your comments and we will keep ignoring them and will only comment on the statement of others.
Have a great future.
I was at the game, our fans left around the third quarter like has been said a few times. I left around the same time, because it was hot out and I wanted to get my boat onto the lake before traffic got messy. Why would I want to watch us get our butts handed to us from a team no one has heard of?
9:10 is clearly a liar.....nice try though.
I was at the UNC-Chapel Hill game this past weekend and left because my boyfriend was making out with another man. Why would I want to watch is get our butts kicked when I can get my butt licked?
I also attended the game, lousy, lousy, student support. Why have football if you don't want to go to the game. Fall break or not, it seems our students just go to the game for a bit to see who is there, it is just a social event for them.
My mom went to the game, I am a student but I gave her my ticket since I just wanted to play video games in our basement in Huntersville.
