Alabama football countdown: 44 days until kickoff

We are back to 44 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. 13, we are officially 44 days away from the start!

Redshirt freshman Kevin Harris II, an outside linebacker out of Grayson High School in Loganville (Ga.), currently wears the No. 44 for Alabama. With Terrell Lewis and Anfernee Jennings now in the NFL, Harris could become an important part of the rotational out on the edge.

There’s also the iconic character named Forrest Gump who rocked the No. 44 for the Crimson Tide. Many consider Gump to be the best return man in cinema history, but we’ll let you be the judge.
