The global pandemic of the Coronavirus occurred at an untimely moment; however, all collegiate programs within the power five conferences are looking forward to playing football. When it comes to the Southeastern Conference, Greg Sankey (SEC Commissioner) and all 14 athletic directors and presidents agreed to a 10-game, conference-only schedule.
While SEC Network is expected to release major news on Friday at 5:00 p.m. CT, the Crimson Tide’s twitter account posted a mini hype video to commemorate 50 days until its season opener.
In a 37-second clip, players such as Jaylen Waddle, Mac Jones, Devonta Smith, Christian Harris, Najee Harris and Dylan Moses were featured.

The quartet of Jones, Smith, Harris and Moses will all be looked upon as leaders. Three of the four student-athletes could have chosen to pursue this year’s NFL Draft, but Smith, Harris and Moses all decided to return for their senior seasons.
After not capturing a national championship in each of the last two years, the veteran leadership on this team has taken it upon themselves to push for a College Football Playoff national title.
