One of college football's greatest traditions kicks off on Saturday afternoon. The 126th edition of the annual Army-Navy game is set to get underway on Saturday afternoon.
The annual rivalry between the two service academies dates back to 1890. In fact, the game has been played every year consecutively dating back to 1930. While there have been a variety of host cities for the game, it's been played the most in Philadelphia and New York.
