Barlow to start Sunday; competition to continue with Gore

SF49ers.com reports San Francisco 49ers head coach Mike Nolan said Saturday, Aug. 19, that RB Kevan Barlow will start the team's preseason game Sunday, Aug. 20. "Kevan is starting and we'll do the same thing as last week. (Kevan and RB Frank Gore) are both competing still. I'm going to let it take its course. I'm not there yet. Last week, Kevan only got a couple of plays in and he had to come out. It's kind of hard to go off that."
