Oregon State running back Jovan Stevenson has been suspended for the first half of the Beavers' game at Utah on Saturday.

The Pac-12 Conference suspended Stevenson for a late hit on a defenseless opponent during Oregon State's 33-14 victory over Hawaii last Saturday. The foul occurred on a punt return late in the first half.

The Pac-12 says the discipline is a result of the league's weekly review of all unsportsmanlike conduct or player safety fouls.
