What happened
ESPN RECAPHeisman winner Caleb Williams throws 4 TD passes, leads No. 6 USC past San Jose State 56-28
LOS ANGELES -- , Zachariah Branch caught a short pass from Caleb Williams and accelerated, turning defenders into turnstiles as he zigzagged downfield. The freshman then broke out Cristiano Ronaldo's iconic goal celebration for his first touchdown, leaping and twisting and screaming to the sky. The Heisman Trophy winner has a dangerous new teammate joining him for Southern California's pursuit of championships. Williams passed for 278 yards and four touchdowns, and Branch made an electrifying debut with a 96-yard kickoff return and a 25-yard reception for touchdowns in No. 6 USC's 56-28 victory over San Jose State on Saturday night. Branch was an immediate phenomenon in his first game out of Las Vegas’ Bishop Gorman High School, making four catches for 58 yards , none better than that catch-and-run for a score on a drive set up by his 35-yard punt return.
