I saw this in topic brought up in another post, and I am curious what you all would consider the GOAT drive in LSU Football history.

For me, it was the last drive of the first half of the 2019 CFPNCG. We went 95 yards, chewed the rest of the clock, punched it in, and Burrow had one of the most ballsy runs I have ever seen in CFB game.

LSU was up 21-17 in a relatively close game. LSU started on their 5 yard line with 3:31 to play. Burrow is sacked to make it 3rd and 19 but DPI is called. Burrow hits Chase for 15 yards and moves the pall to the Clemson 49 with 2:00 to go. Burrow hits JJ for 9 yards and winds the clock down to :40. On 3rd and 10, with :14 seconds left, Burrow scrambles for 29 yards down o the Clemson 6 and goes out of bounds with :14 seconds left. Burrow then finds Moss in the endzone for a TD to take a 28-17 lead going into half time. We would go on to receive the second half kickoff.

Video of the drive

Here are some others that popped into my head, but there are so many more.

UGA 2003 Skyler Green TD
UGA 2009 Scott Go Ahead TD
UF 2010 Fake FG Flip
UF 2007 Hester 4th Down Drive
Arkansas 2013 Dural Go Ahead TD
Bama 2019 CEH Go Ahead TD
TAMU 2021 Jenkins Go Ahead TD

Editing to add this from the thread:
1988 – Fuller Go ahead TD (Earthquake)
209 – Jefferson TD (End of Q2) v Texas
2014 Ole Miss – Stokes Go Ahead TD (13 Rushes / 1 Pass)
1972 USC- Bert Jones to Brad Davis
21-play 90+ yard TD drive against South Carolina in 2003
2023 Wisconsin – Go Ahead TD to Thomas Jr (Reliaquest Bowl)
2006 UT – Doucet Go Ahead TD
2006 Ole Miss – Bowe Go Ahead TD
2007 Bama – Doucet 4th down Go Ahead TD
2005 Iowa – Green Go Ahead TD (Capital One Bowl)
2010 Tenn - Ridley Go Ahead TD with :00
1977 Ole Miss - Ensminger Go Ahead TD

This was what the other poster shared

Final 2022 FSU Drive

What Daniels did on that drive was remarkable. LSU took over at their own 1 yard line with 1:05 on the clock, 2 TOs, needing to score a TD to tie the game. With 0:35 on the clock LSU was at their OWN 29 yard line with only 1 TO left. With 0:15 left and no TOs left LSU wasn't even in FSU territory.

Daniels then ran for 29 yards; completed a pass for 10 yards; completed another pass for 17 yards; and calmly stood in the pocket and delivered a strike in the endzone for a TD with no time on the clock. 53 yards in 15 seconds with no TOs for what should have been the game tying TD!!! That was at the end of a 4th quarter where he led three straight TD drives.

Good choice with the NCG drive. The UF 2007 drive and the Bama 2019 drive popped into my head immediately as well.

Don't forget the Earthquake drive.

Final TD of first half vs Texas and final scoring drive Bama in 2019.

2019 Joe really woke up on that drive vs Texas, he was fricking pumped up after it. Bama TD drive started with a fake QB draw slant to Chase to get into Bama territory in 1 play, was such a cool play.

any drive that benefits from a penalty should be excluded from the list.

UF 2007 Hester 4th Down Drive


This one always sticks out to me. Never have I seen a non QB will a team to win like Hester did on that drive. I gives me chills right now thinking about it.

2014 Ole Miss where we ran the ball like 13 straight times and then threw to Logan Stokes who had never even been targeted before for the game winning TD

How about call it recent memory? Because I'm sure there were great drives before 2003.

I've got a picture of him laying in the endzone after the TD on my wall.

2003 Skyler TD came to mind, but this one is damn good too. Hard to decide. ETA that drive may have been the nail in the coffin for the Clemson "dynasty" as we know it. They haven't gone back to the title game since.

I feel like 2007 Florida has to be the answer when you think of "drives" rather than "plays". The last scoring drive in 2019 Bama isa good answer too because of the 3rd and 10 that Clyde converted early in the drive.
