re: When your fanbase says "The Drive" what game and drive are they referring to?

think of the drive for TD in 2009 Iron Bowl, but props to you for posting that gif from that game on this board.
That's a good one too.

Personally, I think in the annals of our history 02 AU should absolutely be up there (01 UT as well for significance at the time). But I don't think our school has one to where if you mentioned "the drive" you'd get a consensus answer.
Here are a few:
Hobnail boot.
The drive to tie the 1996 Auburn game.
The drive to beat GT in 1997.
The drive to beat GT in 2006.
The first TD drive against UF in 2007 (9 plays, all runs, set the tone for the game).
The drive to beat LSU in 2013.
The drive to tie Tennessee in 2013 (we had no RBs or WRs left).
Those come to mind off the top of my head. I'm sure I'm missing a few somewhere.

2010 NC game versus Oregon.
Long drive led to winning FG as time expired.

Not sure if we have one in particular but there are a couple of recent ones.
In 2011, SC had a 20 play, 11:35 minute, 98 yard drives vs the Vols in Neyland that took up most of the 3rd QT. UT wasn't good that year, and the game finished with a bland 14-3 score, so it's not well-known.
Another one would be the 2013 Outback Bowl, game of "the Hit". SC damn near lost that game. We were down 28-27 (I think) with 3:29 to go. 11 plays, 70 yards, and a 32yd TD pass thrown by Dylan Thompson (replacing an injured Shaw for that one play), gave SC the lead with 11 seconds left.

by decade
2013 ... Carolina 33 Michigan 28
down 28-27 with 3:23 remaining, Gamecocks methodically moved 70 yards in 3:12 with Thompson (Shaw out banged up) hitting Bruce Ellington for the game-winning TD.
Final 3 Minutes - South Carolina vs. Michigan 2013
2001 - Phil Petty to Trafford with 2:18 left to give USC a 37-36 win over Fran-abama. there was about 2 minutes left for the Tide to try and win, but the crowd and Student section at W-B, bordering on delirium, put an end to any chance UA had.
and for all y'all Georgia Dogs...1993. Bennett Over the Top ~ Taneyhill showed a lot of *D-Zier* in the 4Q and took Carolina 45 yards in the final 2:50 to set up #33's touchdown with 0:02 in Athens for a Gamecock victory.
Full Game...or... Bob Fulton & Larry Munson - the call

LSU/UF in 07. Going for it twice on 4th down, the Hester punch in. That was magic.
This is what automatically popped in my head when reading the OP.

The Greatest Game Ever Played in the Swamp
1997 8-3 UF vs 11-0 #1 FSU
With about 2 minutes left in the game Sebastian Janikowski kicks a field goal to put FSU up 29-25 and turns to the Gator bench and does the Gator Chomp.
On the first play after the kick return Doug Johnson hits Jaquez Green on the sideline for a 60 yard reception.
On the next play, Johnson hands it off to Fred Taylor who takes it down to the 1 yard line.
Then Taylor pounds it in to give the Gators the W.

All of these drives are what makes football so much better than baseball or basketball.

For Auburn recently it'd have to be the game winning drive against UK in 2010. 1 particular drive doesn't stand out to me that much. I could go back to games in the 90s & 80s. Reggie Slack to Shane Wasden against UF in 88? Jason Campbell to Courtney Taylor against LSU in 2004?
ETA: Auburns final drive against Oregon to win the NC.

Had we win 2013 NC, the MIss St. drive probably would look more and more important since that game changed the teams attitude and perception moving forward. That drive doesn't happen, we probably lose 4 in the regular season.

You guys finished 10-2 that year though.

I would agree...Everybody knew Travis Henry was getting the ball, and there wasn't anything they could do about it.
That was my first worry after Stoerner fumbled. Henry was a beast and that just emotionally drained us. Plus, Nutt was such an emotional roller-coaster that things had to come crumbling down soon.
I'm not sure what ours would be, but Tennessee in '99 would be up there.
Btw, Stoerner debut on the SECN today.
