The 2016 Dollar General Bowl was a postseason college football bowl game that was played at Ladd–Peebles Stadium in Mobile, Alabama on December 23, 2016.[5] The 18th edition of the Dollar General Bowl (previously called the GoDaddy Bowl) featured the Ohio Bobcats of the Mid-American Conference versus the Troy Trojans of the Sun Belt Conference.[6]
Ohio
The game featured the Ohio Bobcats against the Troy Trojans.
This was the second meeting between the schools; the first meeting was in the 2010 New Orleans Bowl, where the Trojans defeated the Bobcats by a score of 48–21. Coincidentally, that had been Troy's most recent bowl appearance prior to this game.[7]
