An imperfect but prolific Bryce Young. A clutch Chuba Hubbard. An unheralded hero stepping up on special teams.
It was a rock fight for most of Sunday, maybe — but it still yielded a #Panthers win away from Charlotte. Fast reactions, in @theobserver: charlotteobserver.com/sports…

Charlotte coach Tim Albin said the 49ers didn't warm up like a winless team at Temple and showed a lot of grit in pulling out their first win of the season.
The Charlotte 49ers will not go winless this season.
The 49ers went to Philadelphia Saturday and beat Temple, 38-31, to improve to 1-6. Temple fell to 2-5.
Charlotte QB Conner Harrell (23-31, 281 yards, 2 TDs) and 49ers RB Henry Rutledge (17 carries, 123 yards) had big days. Charlotte WR Derrick Ely had six catches for 96 yards and a score.
Charlotte allowed 455 yards to Temple, including 206 yards rushing but the 49ers passed for 281 yards and ran for 168.
