Notes:
In the win over Ohio, Junior Galette finished with four solo tackles, two for a loss, and two sacks for a loss of 21 yards. His second sack cam on Ohio's final drive of the game, a 12-yard loss of second-and-10 with just 49 seconds on the clock. Galette's set back forced Ohio to pass on the next two plays (both were incomplete), sealing Temple's come-from-behind victory.

Galette helped the defense hold the Bobcats to just 10 points overall on 47 total yards rushing and scoreless in the second half.

In seven games, Galette has 40 tackles, a team-best 10.0 TFL, a team-best 7.5 sacks, three break-ups, a hurry, and a forced fumble. He is a first-team mid-season All-MAC selection by Phil Steele Publications.
