you know who has seen a lot of trey lance? the 49ers defense. in a heated exchange, it led to a lou -- he needs a scout team offense every week. warner felt lance was being too careful, costing the defense some key looks. so he gave the rookie qb some game changing advice. >> this is your opportunity to take chances and develop in that part of your game. take a chance. try and see can you fit the ball into tight spaces, or can you go on the run and make a completed pass down the field, different things like that. >> for him to care, not only about the look they are getting but also my development, him pulling me off to the side or maybe us shouting across the line of scrimmage, whatever it is, it is finding a happy medium between giving those guys a look and finding a way to make myself better. casey: let's go! notre dame, 0-7 for big bolws in 25 years. they went up before the half. looked like the streak was finally going to end. but the cowboys come back. an eight yard pass, and it's tied. they take the lead on field goals. last chance for notr

what was on trey lance his mind as he ran out of the tunnel today?the first start at home because of jimmy garoppolo's injured thumb and you pick it up in the second quarter and had a lot of time here and when the ball is in the air, too bad things can happen. an interception is one of them. desmond kane got this one. and it was a 14 play drive by davis mills tossed to brandin cooks that open up the scoring and now 7-3 and mills would be intercepted by harris here. he stuck to the ball and they like terrace because he was ruled down because of his momentum stopped so they said so the niners retain the football and then lance found fellow rookie mitchell who ran for 118 yards and an 8 yard catch made it 10-7 in san francisco on the same score in the fourth quarter and rolled down to the right and to the left and found samuelson broke the tackle and scored and he got his first career win and threw for 249 yards and two scores at the 23-7 victory. >> how different did today feel versus your first start in arizona? >> good to be at home and a lot quieter

i can tell you and i've been telling you, trey lance.rt at quarterback comes sunday. the 49ers little gamesmanship all week. and, of course, maybe in the back of their minds holding out hope that maybe jimmy jeez, mangled thumb would somehow magically heal in time. they'd like his experience in a huge game like this. that was a long shot trey lance to looking, fresh faced and confident. in his second nfl start that is not official. but he's ready for it seems from a health standpoint, i think i feel probably the most healthy i felt since i've been here. um yeah, i mean, getting more reps getting to see things like how jimmy prepares in a short week. you know, last thursday, um things like that. that would have been really hard for me just as a rookie with no vets in the room. i think those things have helped me a time this year. meanwhile in the uae bother because we all know alabama is going to win it all again college football playoffs starting today, the early game number one bama against previously undefeated cincinnati not for a mil

jimmy garoppolo work trey lance? -- or trey lance?yle shanahan has said that if jimmy's thumb is ok, he will start. he is throwing the ball despite the ligament injury. if you are to believe george kittle, it sounds like jimmy might be good to go. >> i can't really tell the difference. i think he was better than he did last week but i don't know what it is like to play with chipped bones in my thumb while trying to throw the football. we have been playing for our season ever since the vikings weekend. the only difference now is there is no guarantee that we have a chance to save the season after this week. >> after a myriad of accusations levied at the buccaneers by antonio brown, bruce arians had a chance to respond. you can see brown through his shirt and stormed off the field. they kicked him off the team. he has had issues on and off the field. he claims that the buccaneers were trying to force them to play on an injured ankle. bruce said brown was frustrated. >> i went back and approached him about what was going on. that is when

we haven't seen much of trey lance since he made his first nfl start back in september. the 49ers defense. a heated exchange between fred warner and lance led to a new look on the field. lance leads the scout team offense against the niners defense and he felt lance was being too careful, which was causing the defense a key list. the linebacker gave the rookie qb some game changing advice. >> i'm like, listen, this is your opportunity to take chances and develop that partier game. take a chance, try to see if you can fit the ball into tight spaces or see if you can go on the run and make a completed pass down the field. >> for him to care, not only about what they are getting, but my development, him pulling me off to the side and shouting across the line of scrimmage, whatever was, it's kind of finding a happy medium between giving those guys a look and finding a way to make myself better. >> fiesta bowl time, notre dame 0-7 and almost 25 years. they went up against oklahoma state just before the half. he finds him and it looks like the streak was finally going to end f

if not, what will the trey lance air look like? what other changes be to the roster? will the offensive coordinator and defensive coordinator look different? they're both up for head coaching jobs. but for now the forty-niners are going to watch the phone from tonight's game head back up north and try to think about the fact that they really came into this game with a lot of confidence. and that's what they should try to harness heading into next season at sofi stadium. kate rooney kron 4 news. >> it will definitely be a long offseason. 4.49 ers fans and for forty-niners players. luckily the warriors are playing some good ball. all right. that's all i have back to you, john, that all right, jason, thank you. >> not as fans as we mentioned, definitely heartbroken over the loss was made to harry got a chance to talk to some of them watching the game earlier tonight in danville. >> there were a lot of faithful fans here to support the niners this evening. i even more my reading gold in hopes of pulling out a win. unfortunately, it wasn't enough in the electric crowd when

but maybe trey lance should be standing by. like me in the shoulder.eah being a quarterback, it affects every throw. so uh, yeah. definitely had some impact. but i you know if i'm out there, and i'm being put in that spot i got, you know. still make the place that i normally make. so no excuses or anything like that. just i mean, injury is what it is. just we're all dealing with stuff now. are you confident you're going to play saturday? ah yeah, i mean, well, feel it out throughout the week, but, yeah, just feeling good right now. and time for a little check this out action on a tuesday night we take into the city of brotherly love. flyers hosting the new york islanders islanders goalie semyon varlamov blocks the puck and it spends the goal and his mother's it in the nhl. the entire podcast to clear the line which just buck does not varlamov sells out for the save. did it matter? yes, his team won 4 to 3 in a shutout. now you like that play between the pipes. how about this one? the stars. michael raffl has a one on one against montreal goalie sam mon

trey lance is obviously waiting in the wings, so this could technically be it for jimmy in the bay areallback says if this is the, you know, the playoff, the deep playoff run, it would benefit both sides. >> it is mutually beneficial for us for him to play well. obviously, this is the season we are in right now. he is our quarterback right now and we're trying to win a super bowl with him. and we don't know what the future holds in front of us, but him playing well will benefit and bode well for us and himself, personally. >> college basketball. this would be the type of tear one way to help you get into the big dance. hosting byu, minute to play. sinks the leaner. they were down 10 at one point second half. final seconds, were down two. desperation three for the wincome off the front of the rim. it was a little too late. that one hurt. 71-69, cougars win. they needed at least one more win between gonzaga, byu and st. mary's, you would think. but in solid shape right now at 15 and three. paying a visit to santa clara this afternoon, second half, up 66-44. look at the seven foot freshman

for questions still remain, will trey lance or jimmy garoppolo get the start at qb to get smart?
