I think the most charitable explanation is that the coaches don’t believe that what Gulbranson has shown in the first two games of the year are commensurate with his potential.  And, his record at OSU *is* much better than what he has shown in two games at Stanford.  Basically, he’s a 60% completion, ~7 yards/attempt QB while at OSU, compared to about 50% completion, ~4 ypa in two games this year at Stanford. 

So, the question is whether Gulbranson just had a bad two games stretch that is not representative of his play, or if he is a bad fit for the system or the weaknesses at other positions exacerbate his own shortcomings.

It’s door #3. Those teams at OSU had beasts on the O-Line. He was rarely under any pressure thanks to his running game and protection. They had 5 ypa and 200 yards rushing per game.  There’s no point in comparing his stats from a 10-3 Oregon State team to what he can do for us.

Until proven otherwise, it’s bleak.

13/22 for 186 yards, 8.5 ypa, 1 TD, 0 INT.
