Alabama football countdown: 98 days until kickoff

We have finally done it. We are officially under 100 days until the Alabama Crimson Tide are back on a football field. After another national championship winning season, Nick Saban and company are looking for a repeat performance in 2021.

The opening week matchup is against the Miami Hurricanes in Atlanta, Ga. on Sept. 2. With it now being May 29, we are now 98 days away from the start!

Two Alabama players currently wear the No. 98: second-year defensive tackle Jamil Burroughs and sophomore punter Sam Johnson. Others have worn it in the past under Saban, including punter Mike Bernier.
