The Niners gave the Colts all they could handle in this game.  I think they might have been able to win the game if they ran the ball just a little bit more.  Alex Smith had a solid game for the Niners in his first start of the season yesterday as he completed 19 of 32 passes for 198 yards with 1 TD pass and 1 interception.  He also had 1 carry for 10 yards.  Frank Gore was outstanding for the Niners in this game as he carried the ball 13 times for 91 yards (7.0 ypc) with a TD and he also caught 5 passes for 43 yards (8.6 avg).  Michael Crabtree led the way in the passing game for the 49ers yesterday with 6 catches for 81 yards (13.5 avg) but he lost a fumble.  Isaac Bruce pitched in with 4 grabs for 51 yards (12.8 avg) yesterday.  Vernon Davis only caught 3 passes for 20 yards (6.7 avg) but one of his grabs went for a TD.  The 49ers finished up with 295 total yards in this game (113 rushing, 182 passing).

Safety Dashon Goldson led the way for the Niners in this game with 10 tackles.  CB Shawntee Spencer, LB Patrick Willis and LB Takeo Spikes led the way with 8 tackles each in this game.  The Colts finished up with 410 total yards (61 rushing, 349 passing) in this game.  The Niners are now 3-4 on the season.
