Navy and No. 2 Cincinnati meet for the fifth time in series history and for the third time as AAC foes when the two square off on Saturday afternoon (12:00 noon) at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium. Saturday’s game is presented by Navy Federal Credit Union.

Navy leads the all-time series against the Bearcats 3-1, however, Cincinnati won the last meeting 42-0 in Cincinnati (Nov. 3, 2018).

Saturday’s contest will mark the third time in Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium history that Navy has played host to the nation’s No. 2 team.

The March-On of the Brigade of Midshipmen will begin at 11:44 am.

The National Anthem will take place at 11:54:30 am, followed by a flyover.

Saturday’s flyover will feature two Boeing F/A-18E Super Hornets from the “Gunslingers” of Strike Fighter Squadron 105 based out of Naval Air Station Oceana in Virginia Beach, Va.

They fly the F/A-18E Super Hornet, the single-seat variant of the Navy’s battle-proven strike fighter.

The F/A-18E model was designed for traditional air superiority, fighter escort, reconnaissance, aerial refueling, close air support, forward air control (airborne), air defense suppression and day/night precision strike. The F/A-18E simultaneously increases strike mission survivability and supplements fleet air defense.

Kickoff on Saturday is slated for 12:05 pm.
