Alabama football countdown: 52 days until kickoff

We are only 52 days from Alabama football kicking off its season. With the cancelled USC game, we’re just not sure who the opponent with be.

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 15, we are officially 52 days away from the start!

Braylen Ingraham, a redshirt freshman out of St. Thomas Aquinas High School in Fort Lauderdale (Fla.), wears the No. 52 for Alabama. He was a former four-star prospect who was rated as the No. 164 overall prospect and No. 10 strong side defensive end, according to the 247Sports composite rankings.
