Alabama’s opening week game against the USC Trojans at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, has been cancelled after the Pac-12 announced its teams would play a conference-only schedule in 2020.
Yes, that was unfortunate news, and, yes, that means the Crimson Tide is looking for a new opponent to open its season on Sept. 5, but, as of right now, that is still the target date to open the season. Until that changes, we’ll continue the countdown to kickoff.
With it now being July 27, we are officially 40 days away from the start!
Joshua McMillon, a sixth-year inside linebacker, currently wears the No. 40 for Alabama. Prior to the 2019 season, McMillon was a reserve and mostly played on special teams.
When he was finally able to work his way atop the depth chart, a knee injury ended his season before it could even get started. Now, McMillon will have a tougher road to a starting spot, but he should still see action for the Crimson Tide this season.
Either way, he experience in the system and the program will be important to the team.
