"STANFORD Ben Gulbranson's first two games at Stanford could hardly have been worse a combined 251 yards on 62 attempts, with three interceptions and no touchdowns. But the Oregon State transfer turned a corner just in time to lead the Cardinal to victory in the Bill Walsh Legacy Game. Gulbranson threw for 444 yards, the third-most in Stanford history, and engineered an 80-yard touchdown drive in the final two minutes as the Cardinal beat San Jose State 30-29 Saturday night at Stanford Stadium."
"Every game he's gotten better and better, interim coach Frank Reich said. Nothing flusters him. He's got great poise and works really hard. So he deserves a lot of credit. He only got here in June. It's not like we had a whole spring ball with him. We changed the offense and did a whole bunch of stuff, so some of it is just a natural progression of learning the offense and getting better every week."
Ben Gulbranson struggled in his first two Stanford starts, totaling 251 yards, three interceptions and no touchdowns. He rebounded to throw for 444 yards, the third-most in Stanford history, completing 29 of 43 with two touchdowns and no interceptions in a 30-29 win over San Jose State. Gulbranson engineered an 80-yard touchdown drive in the final two minutes and converted a 34-yard fourth-and-10 pass to Caden High with 1:18 remaining. Sedrick Irvin scored the winning touchdown in the final seconds. Stanford improved to 2-3 (1-1 ACC) and will begin conference play after an open week.
