Earlier on Monday morning, Navy unveiled a special uniform combination that it will debut in that game against Air Force on Sept. 11. The uniform pays homage to the United States Marine Corps’ famous “Dress Blues A” uniform.
GameDay has already announced its locations for Week 0 and Week 1 of the college football season. They’ll be at Alcorn State-NC Central for Week 0 and Georgia-Clemson in Week 1.
Air Force won last season’s matchup against Navy 40-7. These teams have alternated wins and losses against each other every season since 2013. If that trend holds, Navy will be victorious this season.
Kick off on Sept. 11 is at 3:30 p.m. ET.
