.The Iowa Hawkeyes are licking their injuries coming from a spectacular 20-19 rivalry loss versus the Iowa Condition Cyclones.Despite shutting out the Cyclones in the initial one-half as well as leading 13-0 at halftime, the Hawkeyes' unsatisfactory second-half functionality left behind sightseers with lots of inquiries.Some of those was Iowa mind soccer coach Kirk Ferentz's choice to go for a two-point conversion try out.After Iowa Condition scored its 1st touchdown of the day with a 3-yard goal grab from elderly Jayden Higgins with 8:48 left behind in the third quarter, Iowa answered with a 7-play, 79-yard drive that finished with a 3-yard goal fly jr running back Kaleb Johnson.Along with the Hawkeyes leading 19-7 after Johnson's touchdown jump and also 4:47 staying in the third one-fourth, Ferentz and Iowa chose to try for a two-point sale to likely stretch the Hawkeyes' trigger 21-7.The two-point try out failed as graduate quarterback Cade McNamara could not associate with fresher wide receiver Reece Vander Zee in the section of completion area.Afterwards, Ferentz was asked about his decision to pursue the two-point sale." Yeah, I mean, I presume maybe the dispute would be actually is it prematurely, that type of point. That placed our company at 19-7. I thought it offered our team our best possibility to succeed the volleyball game, and to me the larger concern is our team certainly not a minimum of getting one goal out of those 2 field goal opportunities. We possessed the ball down inside there close. That's obviously a location we're heading to have to improve," Ferentz stated.The logic for trying the two-point transformation make an effort makes sense. Transform the two-point shot and Iowa State would certainly have needed a pair of goals and extra suggest match the volleyball activity.Instead, Iowa Condition redshirt freshman twist Kyle Konrardy's 54-yard field goal ended up as the game-winner instead of exemplifying a possible game-tying field goal try if the Hawkeyes had selected for a PAT try earlier.Contact/Follow us @HawkeyesWire on X and also like our webpage on Facebook to follow continuous insurance coverage of Iowa updates, keep in minds and also opinions.Observe Josh on X:@JoshOnREF.
