Stanford<\/a>quarterback Ben Gulbranson<\/a> is expected to return from an injured knee and start Saturday atMiami<\/a>, sources told ESPN.<\/p>\n

Gulbranson, who is expected to be listed as probable, suffered the injury in the second quarter of Stanford’s upset of Florida State<\/a>last week and missed the rest of the game.<\/p>\n

The Cardinal are 3-4 in Frank Reich’s interim season and have wins over FSU,Boston College<\/a> and San Jose State<\/a>. Gulbranson has thrown for 1,535 yards and seven touchdowns, completing 58.4% of his passes.<\/p>\n

Gulbranson’s play has improved significantly after struggling in the first two games againstHawaii<\/a>and BYU<\/a>, when he threw a combined three interceptions with no touchdowns and completed just under 52% of his passes.<\/p>\n

Since then, he has seven touchdowns against just two inceptions in a five-game stretch. His 444 passing yards against San Jose State were the third most by a quarterback in Stanford history; only Davis Mills and Todd Husak threw for more yards in a game.<\/p>\n

Gulbranson is a sixth-year senior who started his career at Oregon State<\/a>in 2020. He went 7-1 as a starter in 2022 and led the Beavers to a blowout of Florida<\/a>in the Las Vegas Bowl.<\/p>\n

Redshirt freshmanElijah Brown<\/a>replaced Gulbranson after the injury. He was 6-for-12 for 71 yards in his first snaps of the season as he led Stanford to victory.<\/p>\n
