Trent Greene Named MAC Defensive Player Of The Week
November 28, 2016 | Football
Cleveland, Ohio - Bowling Green senior linebacker Trent Greene (Miami Gardens, Fla.) has been named the Mid-American Conference East Division Defensive Player of the Week. Greene had two quarterback sacks, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery, a pass break-up, three tackles for loss and eight total tackles in a 27-19 win over Buffalo that gave the Falcons a three-game win streak to close the season.
Â
Greene disrupted Buffalo's offensive rhythm all afternoon, beginning with a second quarter sack on third down that stalled out one Bulls drive. On Buffalo's first possession of the second half, with the Bulls trailing just 14-12, Greene had a strip sack, recovering the fumble, and setting up a field goal that put Bowling Green ahead 17-12. He then added a game-saving tackle for loss as Buffalo had first and goal at the one-yard line with just nine seconds to play. The Bulls were unable to recover and could not punch in a touchdown that would have given them an opportunity to tie with a two-point conversion.

BGSU Football is one of 25 Football Bowl Series teams that closed the regular season with at least three consecutive victories. The Falcons tied for third in the MAC East Division following three consecutive trips to the MAC Championship game.
