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 24, that means we’re only 73 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.

Former five-star offensive lineman Evan Neal currently wears the No. 73 fo the Crimson Tide. After starting every game as true freshman at left guard in 2019, Neal could make the move out to right tackle to replace the departed Jedrick Wills Jr.
