In 2015, the 49ers played their first ever FBS game against the Panthers in the Georgia Dome, holding off a late Panthers' rally to mark the first FBS win in program history. The Panthers were looking to avenge that loss while the 49ers were looking to recover from a disappointing loss the previous week. The 49ers never found an offensive rhythm and failed to score during the game, recording the first team shutout in program history.

Georgia State also dominated the top performances of the game. Quarterback Conner Manning threw for 250 yards and a touchdown. Glenn Smith rushed for 90 yards on 31 carries, resulting in 2 touchdowns. Penny Hart had 11 receptions for 141 yards and a touchdown.

Game notes:

• First team shutout in program history.
• Post-game, offensive coordinator Jeff Mullen would be replaced in that position by Greg Adkins for the rest of the season.

The Panthers ruined the 49ers' chance for their first ever Homecoming win when a late score gave them a one point victory. In their conference opener, the 49ers were looking for payback and would dominate the scoring into the second half, but would find the endzone elusive after that. FIU Would get within 2 points and take the go ahead field goal to make it a 1 point game and hold on to win.

Top performers of the game were Charlotte Quarterback Hasaan Klugh, who passed for 155 yards and a touchdown. Charlotte's Benny LeMay had 22 carries for 178 yards. Florida International's Trent Owens had 7 receptions for 101 yards and a touchdown.

Game notes:

The 49ers stunned the Thundering Herd in 2016 by winning their first game ever played inside Joan C. Edwards Stadium. Marshall came into town looking for revenge and would find it in a defense struggle which saw the 49ers avoid a second program shutout on a fourth quarter field goal.

Top performances were all from Marshall in this game. Quarterback Chase Litton, who threw for 192 yards and two touchdowns. Rusher Keion Davis had 23 carries for 122 yards. Tyre Brady had 6 receptions for 88 yards and two touchdowns.

Game notes:

• In 2016 Charlotte became the first team in Conference USA history to beat both Marshall and Southern Miss on the road in the same season.

Despite being in the same conference and same division for the two previous years, these two teams had yet to play each other before this game. Charlotte visited Bowling Green, Kentucky for the first time to face the two time defending Conference USA Football Champions on their home field. The game was competitive going into the 2nd quarter, but WKU would add two more touchdowns and a field goal before halftime. A final WKU touchdown early in the fourth quarter would be the final score of a resounding victory for the Hilltoppers.

Top performers of the game were Western Kentucky Quarterback Mike White, who passed for 398 yards and an impressive five touchdowns. Charlotte's Aaron McAllister had 22 carries for 157 yards and two touchdowns. The Hilltopper's Kylen Towner had 6 receptions for 111 yards and a touchdown.

Game notes:

• First meeting of these two programs.
• First time Charlotte faced a C-USA football champion.
• Stretching back to the previous season the 49ers had the longest FBS losing streak at 10 games.

After the drama that resulted in a two year hiatus from playing football, UAB was back on the gridiron and facing the 49ers for the first time. After a scoreless first quarter the Blazers took a two touchdown lead into the half. After the Blazers added a field goal early in the third quarter, they would not score again in regulation. Charlotte would do all the scoring left in regulation and tie the Blazers, forcing the 49ers' first overtime of the year. In the overtime period the Blazers would find the endzone first but the 49ers would match them. Seeking to get the program's first win of a frustrating year, Coach Lambert would go for two for the win; and after running in the matching touchdown Quarterback Hasaan Klugh would get the call again as he hauled in the game winning pass from Chris Montgomery to give the Niners' program its only win of the season and first ever Homecoming victory.

Top performers of the game were UAB Quarterback A. J. Erdely, who passed for 182 yards and a touchdown. Charlotte Quarterback Hasaan Klugh would be the team's top rusher with 25 carries for 1449ers yards and two touchdowns. The 49ers' Trent Bostick hauled in just 2 receptions which yielded an impressive 70 yards and a touchdown.

Game notes:

• First meeting between these two conference mates
• First Homecoming victory in program history.
• The win broke Charlotte's FBS 10 game losing streak.

The 49ers pulled off a shocking drubbing of the Golden Eagles on the road the previous season. Charlotte had to return to Hattiesburg for the second year in a row and it was clear by the midway point that the game's outcome wasn't in doubt, and that the Golden Eagles were looking to make a statement. Turnovers also proved detrimental to any 49er comeback attempt.

Southern Miss dominated the top performances. Quarterback Kwadra Griggs passed for 221 yards and a touchdown. Rusher Ito Smith had 15 carries for 153 yards and three touchdowns. The Golden Eagles Korey Robertson had 6 receptions for 91 yards and a touchdown. Charlotte quarterback Hasaan Klugh again was the 49ers' top rusher with 7 carries for 56 yards and a touchdown. He also had 96 passing yards for another touchdown and two interceptions.

Game notes:

• In 2016 Charlotte became the first team in Conference USA history to beat both Marshall and Southern Miss on the road in the same season.

Charlotte garnered their first ever C-USA win after a dramatic last second endzone catch was waved off for the Owls in Boca Raton the previous season. The Owls easily erased that mark on their record on their way to the 2018 C-USA Championship Game and their first C-USA title.

The eventual conference champions dominated the offensive stats. Quarterback Jason Driskel passed for 245 yards and two touchdowns. Rusher Devin Singletary had 108 yards and two touchdowns. Willie Wright had 9 receptions for 103 yards and a touchdown.

Game notes:

• First time Charlotte will host a final weekend regular season game in FBS.
