Mercifully, the matchup with Alabama is finally here. Some have been waiting for a week, others a few weeks..last fall..or since December 2018.
Is this a program-defining win for Georgia? Absolutely. Provided Georgia is able to do what is expected, a changing of the guard could happen. Much like Florida getting past Alabama in the early 90s and that reversing itself once Saban arrived, the upstart needs to get that one win to assert itself, and that time is now for Georgia.
It’s not too different than in NBA history and its progression of Magic Johnson - Isaiah Thomas - Michael Jordan.
