"Stanford may be going into its toughest game of the season without its starting quarterback. Redshirt freshman Elijah Brown met with reporters on Tuesday, a sign that he could be making his first start of the season when Stanford visits No. 9 Miami on Saturday (4 p.m., ESPN) as a 30.5-point underdog. Ben Gulbranson, who won a position battle over Brown in fall camp, injured his knee in Saturday's 20-13 win over Florida State."
"I think just keeping a level head and just staying the course is the key to that win, Brown said. I had a lot of help over the week, just picking Ben's brain on what kind of looks we're getting and where I should go with the ball. A two-time state champion at Mater Dei, Brown led a 94-yard touchdown drive in the third quarter, but Stanford was held to 25 yards on four fourth-quarter possessions as it barely held on for the win."
Stanford may start redshirt freshman Elijah Brown against No. 9 Miami after starter Ben Gulbranson injured his knee in the 20-13 win over Florida State. Brown completed 6 of 12 passes for 71 yards in his season debut and led a 94-yard touchdown drive. Interim coach Frank Reich did not provide an update on Gulbranson's health. Miami allows the fewest points in the ACC (15.3) and has wins over Notre Dame, Florida and South Florida. Gulbranson had thrown for 1,008 yards, five touchdowns and one interception in the three games before facing FSU.
