Frank Gore Thriving Under Mike Martz

Found September 07, 2008 on InGameNow:
PLAYERS: Frank Gore
TEAMS: San Francisco 49ers,  Arizona Cardinals

Frank Gore became an elite runningback and a household name after his 1,600+ yards in 2006. He took a huge step backwards, however, in 2007 when he managed just over 1,100 yards. With offensive guru Mike Martz taking over as coordinator in 2008, however, Gore appears to be reaping some early rewards. The San Francisco 49ers currently hold a 7-3 lead over the Arizona Cardinals in the second quarter, with Gore contributing 78 yards on 10 carries. He also scored San Francisco's only touchdown when he broke a 41 yard run. Catch all the action remaining in this NFC West matchup on InGameNow.com!
