Alabama is set to kick off its season against the USC Trojans at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, on Sept. 5. As long as COVID-19 doesn’t alter the schedule, it will be the first time the Crimson Tide has faced USC since the dominant 52-6 win back in 2016.

With it being July 1, that means we’re only 66 days away from football season officially being back!

After coming up short of making its fifth-consecutive College Football Playoff appearance, Alabama will look to bounce back in 2020 with a strong roster and returning coaching staff.

As of right now, there isn’t a player on the Tide’s roster who is wearing the No. 66. In fact, the last player to rock that number was former offensive lineman Lester Cotton, who is now playing for the Las Vegas Raiders after going undrafted in the 2019 NFL Draft, back in 2018.
