Toledo and Appalachian State, two conference champions in 2017, will battle for the Dollar General Bowl on December 23. The two teams have recently evolved into two of the best the Group of Five has to offer. But years ago, before both teams achieved their current status, they won a landmark game in an unforgiving atmosphere: the largest venue in college football.
Appalachian State (2007) and Toledo (2008) are the two most recent teams from the current Group of Five to defeat the Michigan Wolverines. Impressively, both teams did it at Michigan Stadium ("The Big House") in front of about 110,000 fans in maize and blue.
