Alabama football countdown: 8 days until kickoff

We are 8 days from Alabama football kicking off its season on the road against the Missouri Tigers to start a 10-game, SEC only schedule.

There has been a lot of uncertainty surrounding college football over the last couple of months, but as of right now, the season still looks like it’s a go for the SEC, ACC and Big 12.

So, what does that mean? It means that we can continue the Countdown to Kickoff en route to the Crimson Tide — and the rest of the SEC — getting things underway on Sept. 26.

With it now being Sept. 18, we are officially 8 days away from the start!

Sophomore linebacker Christian Harris and John Metchie III are both currently wearing the No. 8 for Alabama. In the past, it’s been worn by other players such as Robert Foster, but the most notable player to wear the number for the Crimson Tide is none other than Julio Jones.

Despite statistics maybe pointing in another direction, Jones is considered the best wide receiver in school history.
