I'm not smart enough to remember individual drives but the final drive in the UTSA game has to be one of the greatest in TU history, right? 92 yards in 1:01 for a 1 point win to cap a 28 point comeback. Actually 95 yards after the first sack. Overall Legas made good use of rolling out to make up for the line breaking down.
The final drive

That was before halftime, not to win the game. Still goes down as one of the greatest plays though.
I'd personally argue that a single play is a different category than a drive. But it's nice to be debating moments of TU greatness rather than what we've had on here latelyl!
Only one I can think of was T A&M in 91.
The Landrum Leap was also a good one. That drive went over 70 yards and ended with under a minute left in the game.

Tulsa completes come back versus SMU on 99 yard drive with 1:56 left. Defense held on a 4th and goal to go to get the ball back.
Paul Smith's dad informs people he was built for this.
Good plays followed by a stripped ball recovered and advanced 9 yards by an offensive lineman. Paul Smith was indeed built for this. Couple quick pass plays for chunk gains after fumble. Charles Clay gets loose, Smith finds him and we watch Clay rumble 55 yards for the TD with 43 seconds left in the game.
Tulsa takes its first lead of the game and the only one it needs 29-23.
Paul Smith coming in versus San Jose St showed me he could be special, this drive showed me he would be great.

We've had some darn good ones. Happy to have one from this season to join the ranks of TU greatness.
Davis Brin led a furious comeback against Tulane in 2020. He entered the game after both Zach Smith and Seth Boomer were injured. The game-tying drive was topped by a 37-yard hail mary pass to Juan Carlos Santana on the last play of regulation. Tulsa won in double overtime on Zavan Collins 96-yard interception return.
