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 19, we are officially 48 days away from the start!
Phidarian Mathis, a redshirt junior defensive lineman from Wisner (La.), currently wears the No. 48 for Alabama. His role in the Tide’s defense has continued to increase over the years, and it’s likely that he’ll be the first defensive lineman off the bench this upcoming season.
