Arizona had called its final timeout. There were 12 seconds left, the Wildcats down four points. Coach Dick Tomey's message to his quarterback was clear.

"Don't get sacked," he told Ortege Jenkins that night in Seattle 21 years ago this month. "If you run, you better make it."

Arizona was at the Washington 9-yard line. Dennis Northcutt and tight end Mike Lucky were split to the left. Malosi Leonard and Brandon Nash were to the right. Washington had 3-on-2 coverage on both sides.

Offensive coordinator Dino Babers called a play that Arizona had not used all season.

Jenkins took the snap, looking left for Northcutt, his top receiver. Double-covered. He looked right into the end zone. Nothing. Jenkins continued to drift back.

Running back Trung Canidate swung out to the right, taking a defender with him. Also covered. Jenkins, still backpedaling, was in trouble, retreating all the way to the 20-yard line. Washington's defensive ends were getting close.

Jenkins' only choice

OCTOBER 3, 1998
Fourteen years ago today Ortege Jenkins literally leaped into Arizona football lore. His “Leap by the Lake”, as it was coined by the Arizona media-relations department, in Arizona’s 31-28 win over Washington in Seattle is the most thrilling play in Wildcat history.
The game-winning play placed the game as No. 7 in my Top 50 games list in Arizona history. Here is a rewrite of that post in case you missed it, or better yet, want to relive the memories of what happened on a cold Seattle night 14 years ago today:
Does any individual play in the annals of Arizona football match Ortege Jenkins’ phenomenal “Leap By The Lake” game-winning score against Washington in 1998? Lee Pistor, Brett Weber, Max Zendejas, Gary Coston and Doug Pfaff all made pressure-filled field goals at crucial moments and their names are scattered throughout this Top 50 ranking.
