Camellia Bowl
< 2014
2016 >
The 2015 Raycom Media Camellia Bowl was a post-season American college football bowl game between the Ohio Bobcats of the Mid-American Conference (MAC) and the Appalachian State Mountaineers of the Sun Belt Conference. Played on December 19, 2015 at Cramton Bowl in Montgomery, Alabama, it was the second edition of the bowl game and the final matchup of the 2015 NCAA Division I-Football Bowl Subdivision (Division I-FBS) football season for both teams.
The Ohio Bobcats entered the game with an 8–4 record, having finished second in the East Division of the MAC behind the Bowling Green Falcons. The Appalachian State Mountaineers, in their first year of FBS bowl eligibility following a two–year transition from the Division I-Football Championship Subdivision (Division I-FCS), entered with a 10–2 record and had finished second in the Sun Belt, having lost only to the Clemson Tigers and the conference champion Arkansas State Red Wolves. Appalachian State entered the game as 4.5 point favorites and were expected to have an edge due to their strong rushing offense.
The Mountaineers led 7–0 at the end of the first quarter but trailed 17–7 at halftime following three Ohio scores in the last two minutes of the second half. After an Ohio touchdown in the third quarter extended the lead to 24–7, the Mountaineers rallied to take a 28–24 lead early in the fourth. The Bobcats took a 29–28 lead with 1:31 left in the fourth quarter but the Mountaineers were able to drive down the field and score a game-winning 23-yard field goal as time expired to secure a 31–29 win. Appalachian State running back Marcus Cox, who rushed for 162 yards and a touchdown, was named the game's most valuable player.
