Name: Walter Mebane
Sport: Football
Hometown: Los Angeles, Calif.
Notes: Made a game and career-high 15 total tackles and forced a key fumble in Temple's 28-14 homecoming win over Bowling Green. With the game tied, BGSU had a first and goal at the two-yard line after a pass interference call in the end zone. Falcon RB Chris Bullock, who finished with 182 yards and two scores, was met head-on by Mebane at the one- yard line and fumbled out of the back of the end zone for a touchback. Temple proceeded to go 80 yards on nine plays to take a 14-7 lead, an advantage it would never relinquish, with 4:52 remaining before the half. The victory earned Temple runner up for Tostitos Fiesta Bowl National Team of the Week honors, as selected by the Football Writers Association of America.
