CORVALLIS — If there's one game Kevin Clune would like to replicate from his time as a defensive coordinator, perhaps it came last October against Boise State.
On a Friday night in Logan, Clune's Utah State unit scooped up five fumbles, snatched three interceptions and and sent quarterback Brett Rypien to the turf four times. The dominant effort propelled the Aggies to a 52-26 victory.
"Afterwards, a lot of people are (saying), 'Hey, why don't you just run that defense the rest of the year?'" Clune recalled earlier this week.
Oregon State supporters would be in favor of that, too, if it will yield the same results as the Beavers (1-1) prepare to host the Broncos (2-0) Saturday afternoon in a key nonconference showdown.
