PROVIDENCE- Temple Football SAF Benny Walls earned American Athletic Conference Defensive Player of the Week for his efforts against Georgia Tech on Saturday.
Walls tallied six tackles, a fumble recovery, and an interception in the 24-2 win over the Yellow Jackets. Walls scooped up a strip-sack by DT Ifeanyi Maijeh and returned it 74-yards for a touchdown to lengthen the Owls' lead. Walls also contributed to the stifling red zone defense Temple has had all season. He grabbed an interception in the end zone and returned it 65-yards to set up the Owls with prime field position in order to score again.
