The Alabama Crimson Tide will take the field for the 2022 college football season in 97 days, as Utah State visits Bryant Denny Stadium on Sept. 3.
This will be Alabama’s first season-opener at home in quite some time, as the 18-time national champs are usually selected for a nationally televised kickoff game at a neutral site against a big-time opponent.
Here at Roll Tide Wire, we will be counting down the days until [autotag]Nick Saban[/autotag] and his team take the field.
Today, with 97 days remaining, we honor a fallen former Alabama star who’s life ended all to early in [autotag]Lorenzo Washington[/autotag].
Washington was a member of the Crimson Tide from 2005-2009. During his redshirt sophomore season, Washington saw his playing time significatlly increase. During his career with the Tide, Washington had 12 tackles for loss and six sacks.
Sadly, in 2021 at the age of 34, Washington passed away. In honor of Washington’s legacy with the Tide, here is a gallery with the best photos of the former Alabama defensive lineman.
