Due to a conflict with the Baltimore Orioles-New York Yankees baseball game (1 p.m.), the Maryland-Navy game broadcast in Baltimore can be heard live on WLIF-FM 101.9 and WJZ-AM 1300. WJZ-FM 105.7 will join the football game at the conclusion of the Orioles-Yankees game.

The University of Maryland, under the direction of 10th-year head coach Ralph Friedgen, opens football season No. 118 Monday when it plays the U.S. Naval Academy at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, though it will be considered a home game for the Terps. The teams are meeting for the first time since 2005. Neither team is ranked, though the Midshipmen received votes in both the preseason AP and USA Today polls.

• Maryland and Navy will face off for the 21st time Monday with the Midshipmen owning a 14-6 advantage in the series which started in 1905.
• When the series began, what is currently the University of Maryland at College Park was known as Maryland Agricultural College. The “Farmers” as they were dubbed by local press in the first four games (and Aggies after) lost each of their five games before dropping two more as Maryland State. The first game played by the University of Maryland as it is presently known took place in 1930.
• The two schools, despite being a mere 30 miles apart, have met just once since 1965. Until that point, the two Mid-Atlantic foes had met eight times between 1950 and `65.
• From 1931-1965, the series was competitive with Maryland taking five of 11 games. The all-time series record, however, is somewhat lopsided with the Terrapins having lost each of the first eight games of the series (from 1905-1930).
• The last time Maryland and Navy met before the matchup in 2005, Ralph Friedgen was on the Terp freshman team and for the 1964 game, he was in attendance as a Maryland recruit.
• The series has been played four times in Baltimore (1931, `32, `51, `59, `05) with Navy winning three of those contests. The Terps’ first win in Charm City came in 1951, a 40-21 victory in a campaign that saw the Terrapins go a perfect 10-0 en route to blasting No. 1 and heavily-favored Tennessee, 28-13, in the Sugar Bowl. Maryland also won 23-20 in 2005.

The Touchdown Club of Annapolis will present the Crab Bowl Trophy to the winner of the game and for all subsequent meetings. The trophy will be presented to the winning team in the locker room. The TouchdownClub of Annapolis, founded in 1954, has an extensive history with both Navy and Maryland, honoring both teams at its annual banquet.
