Any drive that did not include the short side option.

I might have to give it to the Florida 07 drive. The 4th downs kept coming and we kept making them to win the game. What a win!

Auburn 88, Earthquake game. Auburn's defense was superior that game, and I think LSU only crossed midfield once the whole game- on the winning drive.

I put it ahead of Fla 2007 because in that game we had 3 other scores. In the Auburn game, we might not have gotten over 100 yds outside of the winning drive.

The drive in Tuscaloosa in 2007 that tied the game at 34. Doucet's 4th down catch and then td run was incredible.

Hodson led a drive in Athens to win that game 26-23.

Those two aren't the greatest,but they're pretty clutch. Y'all beat me to it on '07 Fla and '72 OM.

If it's road games, the drive this year at Florida was huge. Also, Tenn 06, Jamarcus leads us down the field and throws the pass to Bowe (and caught by Doucet) - or vice versa, can't be sure I remember who it was meant for

It's a tough call, but my favorite drive of all time has to be Hester against UF '07. Dude will always be my fav player as he just played with pure determination and rarely if ever heard him getting stuffed.

The final drive in the Earthquake Game against the Aubies in '88 is also one for the ages. Talk about fan spirit.

I'm a younger fan (early 30s) but wasn't there a game where Billy Cannon returned a punt all the way on Halloween against Ole Miss in '59?

Also, one that hasn't been mentioned is the upset of #1 Florida in '97. Not a particular drive but an awesome game. Herb Tyler will always be one of my fav QBs.

jones to davis td with 1 second on the clock to beat those ole miss bastards. and that was when they actually had good football teams. definately one of the best drives ever.


A guy at work who's an Ole Miss fan was at that game and he swears we cheated. One second wasn't enough time for that last play, he says. He even says he later walked up to Coach McClendon and asked him why he cheated in that game.

After rereading this thread I have relived the 07' game in my memory. I could barely watch on the first fourth down attempt of that drive when Hester's second effort got the first. Also the last 4th down of that drive I thought there was no way we got that and we had come so close just to fall up short. Fortunately we converted again and the rest is history. I am relatively young and live out of state so this game will always be bright in my memory. CBS Nightgame, have we had one since at home?, USC losing, crazy crowd, that game had it all.

I vote UF '07.

Another one not mentioned (and I don't recall the details) would have been the game winner vs UF in '04 to avoid a would-be three game losing streak - Randall-to-Addai FTW!

The answer is 07 Florida, but I'm surprised no one mentioned 07 Auburn.

The first three drives at USC in 2003 were dominating.

Been an LSU fan for a long long time and this was the best game, the most electric game and had the best drive in my time as an LSU fan.
