Stanford will be without quarterback Trent Edwards today against Oregon State. Edwards is suffering from a sprained shoulder. Freshman T.C. Ostrander is expected to start. Cardinal running back J.R. Lemon is questionable because of a thigh bruise. If he is unable to play, freshman Ray Jones is expected to start.

Purdue receiver Taylor Stubblefield is looking to break the NCAA career record of 300 receptions. Stubblefield needs 16 catches to break the record set from 1997 to 2000 by Louisville’s Arnold Jackson. Although Stubblefield has 294 catches, nine were in the 2001 Sun Bowl. The NCAA did not recognize bowl statistics until 2002. The Boilermakers play host to Ohio State today and Indiana on Nov. 20.

Minnesota plays host today to Iowa, and running back Marion Barber needs 85 yards to join the 1,000-yard club, which would give the Gophers the first pair of teammates in NCAA history to each gain 1,000 rushing yards in two seasons. Teammate Laurence Maroney has 1,087 yards. Minnesota also is trying to set a record for fewest turnovers. The Gophers have six, with the record of eight shared by Clemson (1940), Miami of Ohio (1966) and Notre Dame (2000).
