.The Iowa Hawkeyes are actually licking their wounds coming from an impressive 20-19 competition loss versus the Iowa State Cyclones.In spite of shutting out the Cyclones in the very first one-half as well as leading 13-0 at halftime, the Hawkeyes' unsatisfactory second-half functionality left onlookers with a lot of questions.Some of those was Iowa head regulation football instructor Kirk Ferentz's choice to choose a two-point transformation try.After Iowa Condition scored its own first touchdown of the time along with a 3-yard goal grab from senior Jayden Higgins along with 8:48 left in the third quarter, Iowa responded along with a 7-play, 79-yard ride that ended with a 3-yard goal range from younger running back Kaleb Johnson.Along with the Hawkeyes leading 19-7 after Johnson's goal dive as well as 4:47 remaining in the 3rd quarter, Ferentz and also Iowa opted to pursue a two-point conversion to likely prolong the Hawkeyes' bring about 21-7.The two-point go stopped working as graduate quarterback Cade McNamara couldn't get in touch with fresher pass receiver Reece Vander Zee in the section of the end zone.Later on, Ferentz was asked them about his choice to pursue the two-point conversion." Yeah, I indicate, I believe possibly the argument would be actually is it too early, that kind of thing. That placed us at 19-7. I presumed it offered our team our best odds to win the volleyball activity, as well as to me the greater concern is us certainly not a minimum of getting one touchdown out of those pair of basket opportunities. Our company possessed the sphere down inside there close. That's certainly a location we are actually visiting need to improve," Ferentz pointed out.The logic for trying the two-point transformation attempt makes sense. Change the two-point shot and Iowa Condition would have needed a pair of touchdowns and also added suggest match the football video game.Rather, Iowa Condition redshirt freshman secret Kyle Konrardy's 54-yard basket wound up as the game-winner instead of working with a prospective game-tying basket attempt if the Hawkeyes had actually chosen for a dab make an effort earlier.Contact/Follow us @HawkeyesWire on X and like our webpage on Facebook to follow on-going protection of Iowa updates, details and also viewpoints.Comply With Josh on X:@JoshOnREF.
