Alabama football countdown: 63 days until kickoff

We are only 63 days from Alabama football kicking off its season against the USC Trojans at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

Alabama is set to kick off its season against the USC Trojans at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, on Sept. 5. As long as COVID-19 doesn’t alter the schedule, it will be the first time the Crimson Tide has faced USC since the dominant 52-6 win back in 2016.

With it being July 4, that means we’re only 63 days away from football season officially being back!

After coming up short of making its fifth-consecutive College Football Playoff appearance, Alabama will look to bounce back in 2020 with a strong roster and returning coaching staff.

As of right now, sophomore walk-on offensive lineman Rowdy Garza wears the No. 63 for the Crimson Tide. Prior to Garza, the number was worn by J.C. Hassenauer, who is now a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers after a run with the Atlanta Falcons and AFL’s Birmingham Iron.
