Devin Bush Jr. will certainly be one of the freshmen receiving playing time.
Harbaugh: "Devin Bush Jr. was fifth, I believe, in the amount of reps taken in fall camp."

Also of note, Harbaugh on Drake Harris:
Harbaugh asked about Drake Harris: "Been pretty healthy, had one little thing, but he's been out there … think he's ready to go."

On QB competition between Wilton Speight and John O’Korn:
Harbaugh on QBs: "They're not playing tight physically. Tight mentally, loose physically … Feel great about the level of play."
