From S.F. Chronicle game story by David White re: 49ers 17-14 win over San Diego Thursday night: "The two first-round picks -- right tackle Anthony Davis and left guard Mike Iupati -- have much to learn about starting in the NFL. But their accelerated learning path and tremendous upside has the 49ers' offense in better hands. Iupati has instantly become running back Frank Gore's new best friend, able to scooter his wide body to the second level and deliver devastating blocks. Against the Chargers, Iupati cleared space downfield for running back Anthony Dixon to take a pitch left, cut inside and take off for a 46-yard touchdown run in the first quarter." Story here.
