Timing is everything.
The play was supposed to be a pitch to I-back Tyler Rauenzahn from quarterback Jay Runty. The Cornhuskers' option offense is predicated on such plays. In this case, however, the timing was off, and instead of Rauenzahn catching the pitch and cutting up the field, the ball was intercepted by rush end Jeremy Lyman, who ran 23 yards to the end zone. It was an unusual play, one you could go an entire season or two without seeing. Rather, what Cornhusker fans are hoping to see are runs such as I-back Correll Buckhalter made on his fourth carry, late in the first quarter.
