Alabama football countdown to kickoff: 43 days

We are now just 43 days away from the start of Alabama’s 2023 football season!

The Alabama Crimson Tide will take the field for the 2023 college football season in 43 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.

Foster played for Alabama from 2010-13 where he appeared in over 50 games. For his career, Foster was a perfect 67 of 67 on extra points but hit on only 56.8% of his field goal attempts. Foster finished with a total of 124 points in his Alabama career.

We are only 43 days away from the start of Alabama’s 2022 football season.

The Alabama Crimson Tide will take the field for the 2022 college football season in 43 days, as Utah State visits Bryant Denny Stadium on Sept. 3.

This will be Alabama’s first season-opener at home in quite some time, as the 18-time national champs are usually selected for a nationally televised kickoff game at a neutral site against a big-time opponent.

Alabama football countdown: 43 days until kickoff

We are back to being 43 days away from Alabama’s opening kickoff on Sept. 26. The opponent hasn’t yet been determined.

There has been a lot of uncertainty surrounding college football over the last couple of weeks, 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 to 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 Aug. 14, we are officially 43 days away from the start!

At this time, there isn’t currently anyone wearing the No. 43 for Alabama. In fact, it’s been awhile since a scholarship player wore the number. Former outside linebacker VanDarius Cowan wore it for a short period, but prior to Cowan, the most notable player to wear it was Cade Foster.

Alabama football countdown: 43 days until kickoff

We are only 43 days from Alabama football kicking off its season. With the cancelled USC game, we’re just not sure who the opponent with be.

Alabama’s opening week game against the USC Trojans at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, has been cancelled after the Pac-12 announced its teams would play a conference-only schedule in 2020.

Yes, that was unfortunate news, and, yes, that means the Crimson Tide is looking for a new opponent to open its season on Sept. 5, but, as of right now, that is still the target date to open the season. Until that changes, we’ll continue the countdown to kickoff.

With it now being July 24, we are officially 43 days away from the start!
