Kaepernick leads 49er’s to stunning victory

Former UNR Quarterback Colin Kaepernick dominated the game in his first career start in place of the injured Alex Smith. He passed for 243 yards and two touchdowns for a San Francisco 49er win over the Chicago Bears 32-7.

 

Kaepernick threw touchdown passes to Vernon Davis and Michael Crabtree, and Kendall Hunter ran for a 14-yard TD as San Francisco jumped out to a big lead by scoring on each of its first four possessions — with Aldon Smith wreaking havoc on the other side of the ball with 5½ sacks.

 

Jason Campbell, the other quarterback in this matchup of backups for two division leaders, threw a 13-yard touchdown pass to Brandon Marshall in the third quarter but was sacked five times and threw two interceptions in his first start since October 2011 for Oakland.

The big question now is: Who will be starting quarterback in next Sunday’s game, should smith get cleared to play by team doctors.? Smith is recovering from a concussion.
