Alabama Football Countdown to Kickoff: 23 days

The Alabama Crimson Tide will take the field for the 2022 college football season in 23 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.

No. 23 has not been an all too popular number as of late. Roydell Williams wore the jersey during his first two seasons in  Tuscaloosa but has since switched to No. 5. With that being said we will take a closer look at Williams’s career while he wore No. 23.

Williams has been in the rotation at running back pretty consistently during his first two seasons in Tuscaloosa appearing in a total of 13 games. Unfortunately, his sophomore season was cut short due to a knee injury.

So far in his Tide career, Williams has 355 rushing yards on 67 carries and two rushing touchdowns. Williams has also caught five passes for 57 yards and one touchdown.

Williams is expected to be back in the running back rotation this fall.
