What is the Military Bowl? 

The Military Bowl, presented by Peraton, benefiting USO of Metropolitan Washington-Baltimore, is a post-season National Collegiate Athletic Association-sanctioned Division I college football bowl game. The game has been played annually in Annapolis since 2013 at Navy-Marine Corps Stadium.

In the 2019 Military Bowl, the University of North Carolina Tar Heels defeated the Temple University Owls 55-13. Watch the video for 2019's highlights.
