Alabama Football Countdown to Kickoff: 59 days

The Alabama Crimson Tide will take the field for the 2022 college football season in 59 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.

Here at Roll Tide Wire, we will be counting down the days until Nick Saban and his team take the field.

Today, with just 59 days remaining, we will look at a former Alabama player who wore No. 59, Antione Caldwell.

Caldwell played along the Alabama offensive line from 2005-08. Caldwell was a consensus All-American during the 2008 season and would become a third-round selection in the 2009 NFL draft.
