Navy and UCF meet for the third time in series history when the two square off on Saturday afternoon (3:30 pm ET) at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium. Saturday’s game is presented by Truist.
UCF is the only team Navy has not beaten since joining the AAC in 2015. Navy has also played fewer games against UCF than it has against any other team.
Navy will play the third-toughest schedule in the country based on opponent winning percentage from 2020. The Mids’ 12 opponents this fall combined for a 72-42 (.632) record last year. Only Arkansas (.644) and UMass (.644) have tougher slates based on last year’s results
The March-On of the Brigade of Midshipmen will begin at 3:10 pm.
The National Anthem will take place at 3:21:30 pm, followed by a flyover and a parachute jumper (3:28 pm).
Kickoff on Saturday is slated for 3:32 pm.
