In this story:

There was a lot to like about the USC Trojans' dominant win against Mountain West school San Jose State. As always, Caleb Williams performed the only way he knows how, like the best player in the country, and the run game was explosive, rushing for 161 yards; starting running back Austin Jones rushed for 54 of them. 

It was a complete game on that end, and we could thank true freshman star Zachariah Branch for doing his part in it. 

It was Branch's first college game, but you wouldn't know it by how he performed in it. Branch had 232 all-purpose yards, making defenders look foolish on offense and special teams. 

His play brought some hope of an explosive tandem between him and Willaims, and it's something defenders must watch out for. 

One of his two touchdowns came on a short one-year pass from Williams that he turned into a 25-yard receiving touchdown, and after, he celebrated his first career the way he knew how with the Cristiano Ronaldo celebration. Take a look toward the end of the clip. 

Branch went in-depth on why he celebrated that way after the game.

If you're unfamiliar with the Roland celebration, here's a look at it. 

Ronald is among the best soccer players we have ever witnessed, and his celebration is widely emulated. 

Branch's Ronald impression was a solid 9/10, but his game is a 10/10, and we cannot wait to see what else he has up his sleeves in the 2023 season. 

The more celebrations we see, the better.
