He had help from backup Kevan Barlow, who accounted for 75 of the 49ers' 212 rushing yards. Hearst repeatedly tore through the Bucs defense, rushing for 117 yards and a touchdown on 20 carries. About as simple as San Francisco running back Garrison Hearst made it look in the 49ers' 24-7 victory. What ailed the Bucs defense Sunday was simple.
