I was thinking the 2019 bama game w/ Edwards-Helaire spin move but then I just watched a recap of his highlights for that game and it was basically every drive. He was a BEAST that game.

2007 UF drive is #1 and it's not close

15 play 60 yard drive that lasted 8:11 and left just 1:09 on the clock, and it was our first lead of the game when we scored that TD.

8 rushes for 39 yards for Hester, and two 4th and 1's converted.

13 runs and 2 pass plays


and the drive started out crappy with an offensive pass interference that left us with 2nd and 18.

Your list is a good one and I remember that drive where LSU put an exclamation point on the 1st half.
The first drive that I thought of was the 2007 UF Hester 4 down drive for the winning TD vs Urban Meyer. All those 4th downs and Hester’s guts & determination were a thing of beauty.
It was like there was no way they would be denied, and Florida knew what was coming and couldn’t stop it.
The reason I pick this one is that more was on the line in that drive than most others. It was convert those 4th downs or lose the game.

The 2007 Florida drive with the 4th downs was the absolute best, and while it wasn’t in the natty, it secured a natty. We don’t win the natty in 2007 without that drive, and we do win the natty in 2019 without the last drive of the first half against Clemson.

2001 - game winner at UK to Michael Clayton.

2004 - Randall to Addai FTW vs UF at the Swamp.

2010 - Jarrett Lee to Tolliver FTW. This included the fake FG bounce with Josh Jasper (GOAT).

2021 - Jontre Kirklin to Chris Hilton on the last play vs KSU. This play will always hold a special place in my heart.

Just off the top of my head as far as in the moment in game drama I don't know if their is any that top this one.

I say it like this because for LSU their weren't any seasonal repercussions on the line. Now for Auburn this loss kept them from playing for a National Championship.

It’s either:

UGA 2003 Skyler Green TD
UF 2007 Hester 4th Down Drive
Earthquake Game

As for 2019, I believe the drive at Texas that had the 4th and 17 basically set the tone for the rest of that season. We were virtually unstoppable after that.

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


If the other team is cheating we need to count that in.

Bert Jones vs Ole Miss in 1972. Less than a second pass to Brad Davis; Rusty Jackson kicked extra point to win it.

The initial list included the 2019 Texas game end of 2nd qtr.TD from Burrow to Jefferson. The end of 4th qtr TD from Burrow to Jefferson was better. It was the dagger in the heart to Texas, made all the better by Matthew McConaughey’s reaction.

The answer is 2007 Florida game, final drive with all the 4th down conversions and game winning TD.

In recent history, without question. 15 plays, 8:11 off the clock, 2 4th down conversions, go ahead TD with 1 minute left.

Last drive of the ASU game to win it. Hopefully somebody has mentioned it already. Sealed an insane comeback after Katrina that included a blocked punt for a TD.

90 yards with a 4th & 10 TD from JR4 to Doucet after losing the lead with 5 miles left and the TD is iconic.
