Navy and Marshall meet on the gridiron for the first time when they square off on CBS Sports Network on Saturday afternoon (3:30 pm) at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium. Saturday’s game is presented by Navy Mutual.

Former Naval Academy Athletic Director and Marshall football coach Jack Lengyel will be honored at Saturday’s game. Lengyel will be part of the coin toss and will also be recognized at the first media timeout. Lengyel took over the Marshall football program 50 years ago this year after the tragic Southern Airlines crash on Nov. 14, 1970, that killed all 75 people on board following Marshall’s football game at East Carolina. It has been recognized as the worst sports-related air tragedy in U.S. history. Lengyel served as Navy’s first civilian athletic director from 1988-2001.

Navy is 7-6 in season openers under 14th-year head coach Ken Niumatalolo, including a 5-1 mark when opening the season at home.
