Branch has been dealing with an undisclosed injury that’s caused him to miss the last two games. 

His absence has been notably felt, especially in the Trojans' offense and special teams. There's a noticeable lack of explosiveness without him on the field.

This week's matchup against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish is arguably the biggest of the season so far, making Branch's potential return even more critical. USC has been missing the dynamic playmaking that he brings to the game, and without him, they seem to be missing that spark that sets them apart.

Fingers are crossed, hoping that Branch will be back in action for this pivotal game. He's a game-changer, and USC could certainly use his talents to make this contest something special. Kickoff is scheduled for 4:30 PM Pacific time, and Trojans fans are eagerly awaiting to see if Branch will be back in the spotlight
