by the way, here are the first down plays divided by type in temporal order, for yards gained:
Rushing: -1, -1, 3, 5, 4, 4, 0, 0, 0, -1, 1
Passing: 11, 9, 10, 18, 13. (no incompletions).
Again, looks to me like we ought to be throwing the ball more often on first down. This is eerily reminiscent of the Cal game last year, in which Harbaugh stubbornly decided to run all the time on first down despite repeatedly getting stuffed (which would set the offense on its back heel). This time he doesn\'t have the excuse that Toby\'s really awesome.
Late note: the point of having balance is that you can hurt opponents either way. Since one option is very clearly working much better than the other, we ought to opt to it. Both of the sacks that you cite, Farm93, happened in 3rd down and medium situations, situations that came about precisely because Harbaugh has decided to waste his best asset so he can play his way.
