Alabama football countdown: 42 days until kickoff

We are back to being 42 days away from Alabama’s opening kickoff on Sept. 26. The opponent hasn’t been determined yet.

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 to 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. 15, we are officially 42 days away from the start!

Two Alabama players currently wear the No. 42. The first is walk-on wide receiver Sam Reed, a sophomore out of Mountain Brook (Ala.). The other is reserve linebacker and key special teams player Jaylen Moody.

Moody, now a junior, has seen action in every game during his career with the Tide on special teams. This past season, he finished second on the team in special teams tackles with five.
