More observations from 49ers vs Tulsa

-- Charlotte freshman guard Javarris Barnett, still on a growth spurt and approaching 6-foot-7, has started an extensive workout regiment set up by the 49ers’ strength and conditioning coach, Preston Greene, with an emphasis on improving his upper body strength. Barnett is likely to redshirt this season barring any unforeseen circumstances.

-- There were no problems during Tuesday night’s game, but Oklahoma and the Tulsa area are still feeling the effects of last week’s severe ice storm. Several thousand Tulsa residents remained without power Tuesday and countless tree limbs still litter city streets.
