No. 6 Southern California opened the season with a 56-28 victory over San Jose State.
Southern California quarterback Caleb Williams evades a tackle attempt from San Jose State cornerback Jay'Vion Cole during the first half of an NCAA college football game in Los Angeles, Saturday, Aug. 26, 2023. – 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.
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. Branch said he learned Ronaldo's celebration while playing the FIFA video game.
“Thought he did a good job not trying to do too much, which guys in their first game sometimes will do,” coach Lincoln Riley said. “The patience, especially on the return, was key. We talked about trust, and then going into this first game, he was a great example of that. He heavily impacted the game.”
San Jose State's Nick Nash caught three touchdown passes from Chevan Cordeiro, who passed for 198 yards and rushed for 52 more. Cordeiro hit Nash with a 28-yard TD pass just 8 seconds before halftime to trim USC’s lead to 21-14, setting off a few grumbles in the Coliseum. But Williams confidently led a drive ending in Jones' second TD to open the second half.
