.The Iowa Hawkeyes are licking their wounds from a magnificent 20-19 competition reduction versus the Iowa State Cyclones.Despite locking out the Cyclones in the initial one-half and also leading 13-0 at halftime, the Hawkeyes' unsatisfying second-half functionality left sightseers along with lots of concerns.One of those was Iowa mind regulation football train Kirk Ferentz's choice to go for a two-point transformation shot.After Iowa Condition scored its own initial goal of the time along with a 3-yard goal grab coming from senior Jayden Higgins with 8:48 left in the third quarter, Iowa reacted along with a 7-play, 79-yard ride that finished along with a 3-yard goal run from younger running back Kaleb Johnson.Along with the Hawkeyes leading 19-7 after Johnson's touchdown plunge and also 4:47 continuing to be in the third quarter, Ferentz and Iowa opted to pursue a two-point sale to possibly extend the Hawkeyes' cause 21-7.The two-point try out fell short as graduate quarterback Cade McNamara could not associate with fresher pass receiver Reece Vander Zee in the edge of completion region.Afterwards, Ferentz was actually asked about his selection to pursue the two-point sale." Yeah, I imply, I presume maybe the controversy would be actually is it prematurely, that kind of factor. That put our team at 19-7. I believed it provided us our ideal odds to win the football activity, and also to me the bigger concern is our team not at least receiving one goal out of those pair of basket chances. We had the ball down inside there close. That's certainly a location our experts are actually visiting must improve," Ferentz mentioned.The logic for attempting the two-point conversion attempt makes sense. Convert the two-point go as well as Iowa Condition will require a pair of touchdowns and additional indicate match the volleyball game.Instead, Iowa Condition redshirt fresher secret Kyle Konrardy's 54-yard basket wound up as the game-winner rather than embodying a potential game-tying field goal try if the Hawkeyes had chosen for a dab make an effort earlier.Contact/Follow us @HawkeyesWire on X and also like our web page on Facebook to follow on-going insurance coverage of Iowa updates, notes as well as opinions.Follow Josh on X:@JoshOnREF.
