O'Sullivan delivers TD in victory

J.T. O'Sullivan was having yet another good-and-bad game that seemed destined to keep the 49ers' quarterback battle in a perpetual state of limbo when he made something really good happen.

Facing second and 10 from his 41-yard line late in the first half Saturday, O'Sullivan locked onto his favorite target, rookie wide receiver Josh Morgan, who was streaking down the left side of the field. O'Sullivan stepped up and hit Morgan in stride for a 59-yard touchdown, the first for either as 49ers in a 34-6 exhibition victory.

It was the kind of dazzling play that could make you forget - for a while at least – the blunder O'Sullivan made earlier in the game when, in the shadow of his end zone, he was intercepted by cornerback Charles Woodson, who returned the ball to the 49ers' 7. O'Sullivan was following tight end Vernon Davis on the play and didn't see Woodson.

O'Sullivan's main competition for the starting job, Alex Smith, also had a chance for a momentous touchdown play to Morgan when he entered the game in the second half.

JT to start the second preseason game

Mike Nolan finally revealed the secret that everyone and their second cousin has known for the last few days: That J.T. O'Sullivan will start his second straight preseason game when the Packers come to town on Saturday. In fact, the quarterback order will remain the same except that O'Sullivan will play a little longer against Green Bay than he did against the Raiders on Friday. He and the starters will play the first half. Alex Smith will start the second half and Shaun Hill will finish out the game. Some starters, such as Isaac Bruce and Frank Gore, will be taken out well before halftime.

Said O'Sullivan, who is starting only his third NFL game: "It's an opportunity to show what you can do. You can get the mental reps from sitting back there and not wasting a chance to learn from watching someone else do it. But I don't think there's any argument for actually getting in there and getting the game reps, practice reps, of actually making the throws and making the decisions."
