Alabama football countdown: 72 days until kickoff

We are only 72 days from Alabama football kicking off its season against the USC Trojans at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

Alabama is set to kick off its season against the USC Trojans at AT&T Stadium in Arlington (Tex.) 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 dominate 52-6 win back in 2016.

With it now being June 25, that means we’re only 72 days away from football season officially being back!

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

Redshirt freshman offensive lineman Pierce Quick currently wears the No. 72 for the Crimson Tide. The former five-star recruit could become a valuable depth piece for Alabama this season, as he’s capable of playing all five spots along the offensive front.
