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. 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.
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.
