Opponent Preview: Beaver Defense

Utah begins the second half of their season this Saturday on the road, in Corvallis Oregon, where they will take on the 2-3 Oregon State Beavers. One time Utah defensive coordinator, Gary Anderson, is now in his second season as the head coach for the Beavers and slowly but surely seems to be righting the ship up in Corvallis. The Beavers won their first conference game since Anderson’s arrival last week, a 47-44 overtime thriller. The forecast for Saturday’s game is wet and windy, the kind of weather where defenses win ball games. With that in mind, let’s examine Oregon State’s defense ahead of Saturday’s contest.
