USC Football: College Football Fans React to Zachariah Branch Debut
Zachariah Branch has only played one game with the Trojans, but he's already making a name for himself.
The wide receiver and returner flashed his speed and set a high standard for the rest of the season. His ability to accelerate and evade tacklers was in full display on his electric 96-yard kickoff return for a touchdown.
He also wowed in the passing game, bringing in 4 receptions for 58 yards, including a 25-yard catch for his first score as a Trojan.
His second came less than five minutes later as he became the first Trojan since Velus Jones Jr. (2019) to return a kickoff for a score.
Unsurprisingly, USC fans are already hyping Branch up after his college debut. Here are some of our favorite reactions to a truly special night for the young receiver.
Some are already pumping the Zachariah Branch No. 1 pick campaign.
Others chose it as an opportunity to point out some of the not-so-good parts about Saturday's win.
And others thought his performance evoked memories of one of the greatest Trojans of all time.
Branch and the rest of the Trojans will take the field again next week, facing off against Nevada at 3:30 p.m. PDT.
