Alabama football countdown: 27 days until kickoff

We are 27 days from Alabama football kicking off its season on the road against the Missouri Tigers to start a 10-game, SEC only schedule.

There has been a lot of uncertainty surrounding college football over the last couple of weeks, but as of right now, the season still looks like it’s a go for the SEC, ACC and Big 12.

So, what does that mean? It means that we can continue the Countdown to Kickoff en route to the Crimson Tide — and the rest of the SEC — getting things underway on Sept. 26.

With it now being Aug. 30, we are officially 27 days away from the start!

Two current players wear the No. 27 for Alabama: true freshman running back Kyle Edwards, a three-star prospect out of Destrehan (La.), and walk-on defensive back Joshua Robinson out of Hoover (Ala.).

Prior to Edwards, now former Tide running back Jerome Ford wore the number. He has since transferred to Cincinnati, however, to be reunited with former Alabama quarterbacks coach Dan Enos.
