Louisiana Rolls Charlotte 34-7, and Charlotte's Offense Never Scored
Charlotte's only touchdown was a 54-yard fumble return. Take that away and the home team's offense has produced nothing at all, and the score is 34-0.
Louisiana opened with a 29-yard Tony Sterner field goal, then went up 10-0 on a 3-yard pass from Winfield to Steven Blanco with 5:59 left in the second quarter. Jaylon Johnson's fumble return with 24 seconds left in the half made it 10-7, and that was the entire Charlotte story. Louisiana never trailed and the game was never tied, and the Ragin' Cajuns outscored the home team 24-0 the rest of the way: JJ Garner scored from 7 yards in the third, Sterner kicked a 44-yarder to open the fourth, Winfield ran in from 9 yards, and Anthony Reagan Jr. added a 4-yard run with 33 seconds to play.
The numbers on the Charlotte side are rough. The 49ers finished with 137 total yards, 26 of them rushing on 15 carries, with three fumbles lost and an interception. Louisiana had 292 yards of its own and lost one fumble, so this was not a track meet. It was a game one offense mostly could not start.
The 34-7 result leaves Louisiana at 3-1 and Charlotte at 0-4, and the Niners still waiting on their first win. Charlotte went into the half trailing only 10-7, so there was a window, and the second half closed it. Louisiana's second half was a touchdown, a field goal and two more touchdowns.
For fantasy, there was not much to find. Winfield's 20.8 points led everyone, and Reagan's 10.7 was the second-best line in the game. A win by 27 and the top scorer had 20.8.
