Alabama football countdown: 7 days until kickoff

We are 7 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. 19, we are officially 7 days away from the start!

Two players currently wear the No. 7 for Alabama. On offense, it’s walk-on quarterback Braxton Barker out of Spain Park High School in Birmingham. On defense, it’s redshirt freshman cornerback Brandon Turnage out of Oxford (Miss.).

Prior to Turnage, former Crimson Tide cornerback Trevon Diggs, who was a second-round pick by the Dallas Cowboys in the 2020 NFL Draft, rocked the number.
