Alabama football countdown: 39 days until kickoff

We are 39 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. 18, we are officially 39 days away from the start!

Sophomore Carson Ware, a walk-on defensive back out of Muscle Shoals (Ala.), currently wears the No. 39 for Alabama.

In addition, former Tide defensive back Minkah Fitzpatrick, who wore the No. 29 during his time in Tuscaloosa, now wears the number for the Pittsburgh Steelers, who traded for him last season. But he isn’t the only one.

Another former Alabama cornerback turned safety, Eddie Jackson, also rocks the number for the Chicago Bears, who drafted him in the fourth round of the 2017 NFL Draft.
