Hunter Bailey from the Charlotte Observer joins the show this week to wrap up our conference preview series with a deep dive on Charlotte football.

The last of several Conference USA opponent previews is in the books. Hunter Bailey joins us this week to help us understand Charlotte football. The 49ers took a nosedive at the end of the 2021 season and hit the reset button on the defense. Can they turn things around? The answers to that big question and more are on the show.
