"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."
"His biggest throw came on fourth-and-10 from the Stanford 41 with 1:18 remaining. The Cardinal were expecting San Jose State to blitz, so it kept tight end Sam Roush in to block and had South Carolina State transfer Caden High go long, knowing there was no safety help. Sure enough, High got behind the defense and Gulbranson found him for a 34-yard completion."
Ben Gulbranson overcame a rough start at Stanford to throw for 444 yards and lead the Cardinal to a 30-29 win over San Jose State. Gulbranson completed 29 of 43 passes with two touchdowns and no interceptions, producing the third-most passing yards in Stanford history. He engineered an 80-yard touchdown drive in the final two minutes, including a crucial fourth-and-10 34-yard completion to Caden High. The sixth-year transfer enrolled after spring practice and has improved each game, with interim coach Frank Reich praising his poise and work ethic amid an offense undergoing changes.
