Navy still leads, but Pitt rallying in Military Bowl

Ivan nuzzled up against visitors Sunday at a meet-and-greet for military families that participate in horsemanship programs at stables in the state. Vania Lauer volunteers at Maryland Therapeutic Riding in Crownsville and helped out at the event Sunday.

The Military Bowl is off to a rousing start on ESPN. Pitt' freshman wide receiver Quadree Henderson took the opening kickoff at the goal line and jetted 100 yards for a touchdown, giving his team the early lead against Navy. Speed kills. Pitt starts

The Military Bowl Parade, led by the famous Budweiser Clydesdales, starts at 11 a.m. at City Dock. The parade route travels up Main Street, around Church Circle to College Avenue, then turns left on Bladen Street and continues along Rowe Boulevard
