The 2016 Camellia Bowl classifies as a war of wills between teams with opposing strengths when the Appalachian State Mountaineers and Toledo Rockets meet for the first time.
Toledo, 9-3, makes its headway through the air and boasts some of the best numbers in the country. Head coach Jason Candle coached on Toledo's sidelines with current Appalachian State coach Scott Satterfield, adding a layer of intrigue to the matchup.
Not that it needed any—the Mountaineers, also 9-3, tout one of the nation's best pass defenses and a ball-control offense capable of keeping the Rockets off the field.
