Alabama football countdown: 74 days until kickoff

We are only 74 days from Alabama football kicking off its season against the USC Trojans at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

Alabama is set to kick off its season against the USC Trojans at AT&T Stadium in Arlington (Tex.) on Sept. 5. As long as COVID-19 doesn’t alter the schedule, it will be the first time the Crimson Tide has faced USC since the dominate 52-6 win back in 2016.

With it now being June 23, that means we’re only 74 days away from football season officially being back!

After coming up just short of making its fifth-consecutive College Football Playoff experience, Alabama will look to bounce back in 2020 with a strong roster and returning coaching staff.

Jedrick Wills Jr. wore the No. 74 for the Crimson Tide last season, but he has since departed for the NFL where the Cleveland Browns selected him at No. 10 overall in the 2020 draft. No one is currently wearing his old number for Alabama, at least not at this time.
