“You turn on the tape and you watch it, Scott Loeffler’s got a heck of a team," said Harbaugh. "The offense, their throw game is tremendous. I think there are some things we can glean from it."
Harbaugh added:
"(They’ve) Done a really nice job in the running game, too. Very similar to our offense. Hopefully that’s an advantage for our defense. They’re gonna see a lot of the same kind of concepts. It’s well-coordinated and well-called. Scott’s a great coach, and we know we’re going to get their very best.”
