The Alabama Crimson Tide will take the field for the 2023 college football season in 35 days, as Middle Tennessee State visits Bryant Denny Stadium on Sept. 2.
Here at Roll Tide Wire, we will be counting down the days until Nick Saban and his team take the field.
With 35 days remaining we take a look at a former defensive standout for the Tide in DeMeco Ryans.
Ryans won SEC Defensive Player of the Year for his incredible season in 2005 and was recognized as a unanimous first-team All-American.
Ryans is entering his first season as the head football coach of the Houston Texans.
