Stanford has yet to announce a starting QB for this week against Wake Forest, but when they do, it should be freshman Elijah Brown.
At 2-5, the Stanford Cardinal’s season is now hanging by a thread, as one or two more losses would all but end the program’s bowl aspirations. In head coach Troy Taylor’s second season at the helm, and Stanford’s first season in the ACC, there has been a lot of promise and potential shown out of the young guys brought in, with many of them thrusting themselves into the starting lineup.
However, Brown was way ahead on his recovery and was able to make his return against SMU this past week. Although some rust was evident with Brown throwing two interceptions, his first game back also brought about a lot of positives as he was able to throw a nice touchdown pass to Elic Ayomanor. While he only completed 50% of his passes , a lot of the ones he did complete were perfectly placed where only the receiver was able to make the play.
For starters, it would give him the chance to play against even more ACC teams and get used to the competition. Stanford is in the ACC and is there to stay, so the slate of opponents that the team will play this year and in future years is who they will face indefinitely. Allowing Brown to get reps against teams like SMU, Louisville, NC State and even Cal will get him prepared for when he does become the full-time starter, where he will already have the experience against tough defenses.
“It’s tough when you’re turning the ball over,” head coach Troy Taylor said. “These are good enough defenses where if you hurt yourself, it makes it difficult. We had the one on the option that was a tough play but there are other things . We have to improve in all areas to be honest.”
