Pregame -
3:15 - The Brigade of Midshipmen are beginning their march into Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium.
3:05 - Both teams are on the field completing their warm up activities. The rain is continuing and not surprisingly, the crowd in the stadium is sparse. There are easily more fans in the concourse than in seats at this point.
3:00 - I spoke to the ground security adviser from Team Fastrax and their jump is cancelled due to the rain. I haven't heard officially, but I would guess the fly-over may be cancelled as well due to the weather. There was some light rain a few hours before kickoff, but it has intensified in the last half hour..

The Navy Midshipmen host the Memphis Tigers at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium at 3:30 PM. Navy comes into the game with an 0-1 record after last week's loss at Hawaii, 59-41. This will be the fourth meeting between these two schools and Navy holds a 2-1 advantage in the series that began in 2015.
The key for Navy this afternoon will be to control the football and the clock. Malcolm Perry led the Navy ground game against Hawaii, rushing for 108 yards on 17 carries. The Mids used a QB committee last week that included former starter Zach Abey and Garret Lewis. Abey appears to be set as the short yardage candidate. Against the Rainbow Warriors, he rushed for four TDs on 5 carries and gained 17 yards. Lewis will be utilized in passing situations. He came in to the Hawaii game late and was 5-9 for 66 yards.
Memphis beat Navy last year in Memphis, 30-27. The Tigers come into this year's contest with a 1-0 record following a 66-14 win over Mercer last week. QB Brady White threw for five first-half TDs in the win and finished with 358 yards through the air. Memphis led 56-0 at halftime and finished with 752 yards in the game. The Mids will need to minimize possessions for the Tigers to improve their chances at giving Head Coach Ken Niumatalolo his 10th home opener win since taking over the helm at Navy. His lone loss is a 31-24 defeat at the hands of Rutgers in 2014.
Navy is often known as much about their pregame festivities as they are about the games. The Brigade of Midshipmen will march on to the field at 3:11. The National Anthem, always a little more meaningful at the academies will take place at 3:20. Today's fly-over will be with four F/A-18F Super Hornets. All four pilots are graduates of the Naval Academy. A parachute jumper from Team Fastrax will jump with the American flag at 3:24, weather permitting.
