2025 49er Football Week 3 - Game #3 vs Monmouth 9/13 6PM ESPN+

I believe that the limit was supposed to be 105, so Charlotte complied with it. Other schools were well over that, so they ended up with a phase in schedule. That meant that the other schools didn’t have to kick people off the team, but by then, Charlotte had declined to accept some preferred walkons. They did add some extra preferred walkons in the last week, so they are over 105 now. I count 107.

Note that Albin hinted they might get #108, and the he would soon have news of some sort regarding Mitchell Mayes.

Has anyone found any Monmouth message boards? I’m curious to see what they think about the game. I have been unable to find anything. I can’t even find an updated CAA message board.

Yeah, Facebook doesn’t count.

Count on Charlotte athletics to be the most compliant rule following to the letter of the law and then some program in the country!

24 points would be a lot of offense for our team after the first two weeks.

The line for the game is still showing Charlotte -3.5

24 this week would make me happy, especially if the defense holds Monmouth under 20.

I, for one, think our defense is great. We will hold them to 10 points max. They are small, slow, not able to make open-field tackles, and the QB makes poor decisions. Their stats reflect the quality of their opponent imo

For anyone wondering about Brown and Rutledge from last game:

ā€œWideout Sean Brown sustained a contusion during his catch and run in the UNC loss and is expected to be OK, but didn’t practice on Tuesday, according to Albin.

Running back Henry Rutledge is awaiting the results of an MRI for a lower-body injury after pulling himself after playing five snaps against the Tar Heels.ā€

per Hunter Bailey

People think that Monmouth, not Montana, NDSU, or even A&T but Monmouth can beat us. The 3.5 point line also reveals the perception of our program with the casuals. Sorry but to me that’s bad. I know it can always get worse but that’s how we’re seen now.

It is definitely bad. We’ve done nothing yet to persuade people otherwise but for the first time, I’m confident we’re headed in the right direction

If you cant expect to handle an FCS squad then you aren’t a serious FBS program. Unfortunately after 13 years of playing football that is where we are.

I will say if the D plays like it did Saturday we should handle them. The offense though has to show something. I know the players might be limited but that means its on the coaches to get creative. The lack of use of the middle of the field baffles me.

Monmouth isn’t the only team ranked going into our match-up this Saturday
