70 days until Alabama football kicks off the 2024 season

We are just 70 days away from Alabama football!

In 70 days, Kalen DeBoer will usher in a new era of Alabama Crimson Tide football, replacing the legendary [autotag]Nick Saban[/autotag] as head coach in Tuscaloosa.

Coach DeBoer and the Crimson Tide will take on the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers on Aug. 31 to kick off the 2024 college football season inside Bryant-Denny Stadium.

Here at Roll Tide Wire, we will count down the days until Alabama football takes the field.

With just 70 days remaining, we will look at a former Alabama star offensive lineman who wore No. 70, Alex Leatherwood.

Leatherwood helped anchor the Crimson Tide offensive front from 2017-20 before becoming a first-round pick by the Las Vegas Raiders in the 2021 NFL draft.

Leatherwood has not lived up to his potential in the NFL and has bounced around to several different teams.

Freshman offensive lineman William Sanders currently wears No. 70 for the Crimson Tide.
