Joe DeForest, who coached outside linebackers at USC, was named safeties coach at North Carolina State today. It’s amazing that Clay Helton hasn’t done anything yet regarding Clancy Pendergast and John Baxter.

Iowa is back to dissecting the USC defense. Kedon Slovis is out. Matt Fink has won big games before.
