.The Iowa Hawkeyes are stroking their cuts coming from a spectacular 20-19 competition loss versus the Iowa State Cyclones.Even with shutting out the Cyclones in the 1st one-half as well as leading 13-0 at halftime, the Hawkeyes' unsatisfying second-half functionality left onlookers with lots of inquiries.Among those was Iowa mind football coach Kirk Ferentz's decision to go with a two-point transformation shot.After Iowa Condition scored its first touchdown of the day along with a 3-yard goal grab coming from senior Jayden Higgins with 8:48 left in the 3rd fourth, Iowa responded with a 7-play, 79-yard ride that finished with a 3-yard goal fly jr operating back Kaleb Johnson.With the Hawkeyes leading 19-7 after Johnson's touchdown jump as well as 4:47 remaining in the 3rd one-fourth, Ferentz as well as Iowa decided to pursue a two-point transformation to possibly stretch the Hawkeyes' cause 21-7.The two-point try out stopped working as graduate quarterback Cade McNamara couldn't associate with freshman wide receiver Reece Vander Zee in the section of completion region.After that, Ferentz was actually asked them about his choice to try for the two-point conversion." Yeah, I suggest, I assume maybe the argument would certainly be actually is it untimely, that kind of factor. That put our team at 19-7. I presumed it provided our team our finest odds to succeed the volleyball video game, as well as to me the larger concern is our team not a minimum of acquiring one touchdown out of those pair of field goal opportunities. Our company had the ball down inside there close. That is actually definitely an area our company're mosting likely to need to improve," Ferentz said.The logic for attempting the two-point conversion try makes sense. Transform the two-point try out and also Iowa Condition will have needed a pair of goals and also additional suggest match the soccer game.Instead, Iowa Condition redshirt freshman twist Kyle Konrardy's 54-yard basket ended up as the game-winner rather than embodying a prospective game-tying field goal attempt if the Hawkeyes had actually selected for a PAT attempt earlier.Contact/Follow us @HawkeyesWire on X and also like our page on Facebook to follow on-going protection of Iowa updates, notes and opinions.Comply With Josh on X:@JoshOnREF.
