Stanford<\/a> quarterback Ben Gulbranson<\/a> is expected to return from an injured knee and start Saturday at Miami<\/a>, sources told ESPN on Thursday.<\/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 sat out 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 against Hawaii<\/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 only 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 freshman Elijah 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","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Stanford quarterback Ben Gulbranson is expected to return from an injured knee and start Saturday at Miami, sources…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":248548,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[67],"tags":[399,398,396,397,99],"class_list":{"0":"post-248547","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-ncaa-football","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-ncaa","10":"tag-ncaa-football","11":"tag-ncaafootball","12":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/248547","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=248547"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/248547\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/248548"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=248547"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=248547"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=248547"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
