That is a man who realizes he's home, at long last. The score may only be 7-0 in the waning moments of the game, the stadium may only be half-full, this whole thing may only be an exhibition, but it's impossible to repress that smile.

10. Edge Rush
Joe Bolden had such a strong performance he had to be included in here somewhere.
9. Helicopter Coach
He'll probably try to do this in an actual game.
8. Trickery
Third time's the charm.
7. Yes, It's Legal
A wild touchdown appears!
6. This Throw Seems To Work
Part One:
Part Deux:
5. Swing And A Miss
Fine, fine, blown assignments abound here, but Lawrence Marshall is still quite athletic.
4. Somehow, Nobody Chanted "Just Like UConn"
That's an impressive pick by Desmond Morgan, reminiscent of the one he had in a game we shall never speak of again.
3. POWER
It may have been the only big run of the day, but at least it featured impeccable blocking.
2. Harbaugh Out
Really hoping this is how Harbaugh leaves every home game, or at least all the wins.
FRAMES OF THE GAME: FIRST DOWN, BLUE
For starters, this is a very impressive pick by Brandon Watson, and an overlooked play by Jarrod Wilson to lay the hit that jarred the ball loose. Then Shane Morris gets both hands involved signaling for a first down, and this takes top GIF honors.
