Elijah Brown News, Rumors, Updates - Stanford Cardinal | FOX Sports

Gets start, still takes backseat Brown was 5-for-9 passing for 24 yards and one interception during Saturday's 27-24 loss to Wake Forest.

Impact Brown officially got the start for Stanford, but still played second-fiddle to Ashton Daniels. After Brown started the game with two fruitless drives, including an interception, Stanford elected to go back to Daniels under center. The freshman has clearly inspired some confidence from his coaching staff, but Daniels proved he was a better option against the Demon Deacons.

Struggles in place of Daniels Brown completed 16 of 32 passes for 153 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions during Saturday's 40-10 defeat to Southern Methodist. He also had 12 rushes for -10 yards.

Impact Brown took over for Ashton Daniels after several drives, and didn't have an easier time than the former starting quarterback igniting this Stanford offense. He completed just 50 percent of his passes, and turned the ball over twice. Stanford has a legitimate quarterback issue at this point, and neither Brown, Daniels or Justin Lamson have proven to be the solution.

Good showing in mop-up duty Brown completed 7 of 7 passes for 97 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 41-7 victory against Cal Poly.

Impact Brown looked excellent in his brief mop-up duty after Stanford had clearly put the game away against Cal Poly. The true freshman looks like he may have asserted himself as the Cardinal's backup option, especially after a rather perfect debut. Ashton Daniels will still dominate the reps, but Brown looks like he's the heir apparent in Palo Alto.

Listed as co-starter Brown is listed as a co-starter for Friday's opener versus TCU.

Impact Brown is listed alongside Ashton Daniels and Justin Larson as a co-starter to open up the season. While it's unlikely he ends up starting, it's certainly a positive sign for him that he is even in the conversation with Daniels and Larson who served as last seasons No. 1 and No. 2, respectively. Given his current place on the depth chart, it's not out of the question that he could serve as the backup quarterback as a true freshman.
