.The Iowa Hawkeyes are licking their cuts from a magnificent 20-19 competition loss versus the Iowa Condition Cyclones.Regardless of locking out the Cyclones in the very first one-half and also leading 13-0 at halftime, the Hawkeyes' disappointing second-half efficiency left observers with plenty of questions.One of those was actually Iowa head football train Kirk Ferentz's decision to opt for a two-point conversion shot.After Iowa State scored its own initial goal of the day with a 3-yard goal grab coming from senior Jayden Higgins along with 8:48 left behind in the third fourth, Iowa reacted along with a 7-play, 79-yard drive that ended along with a 3-yard goal fly younger operating back Kaleb Johnson.Along with the Hawkeyes leading 19-7 after Johnson's goal plunge and 4:47 staying in the 3rd quarter, Ferentz and also Iowa opted to pursue a two-point sale to potentially extend the Hawkeyes' trigger 21-7.The two-point try out stopped working as graduate quarterback Cade McNamara couldn't get in touch with freshman pass receiver Reece Vander Zee in the section of the end zone.After that, Ferentz was actually inquired about his choice to pursue the two-point conversion." Yeah, I imply, I presume maybe the discussion would certainly be actually is it untimely, that sort of trait. That put our company at 19-7. I believed it gave our team our absolute best odds to win the football video game, as well as to me the greater issue is us not at least obtaining one goal out of those two field goal options. Our company had the ball down inside there close. That's undoubtedly a place we're heading to need to enhance," Ferentz pointed out.The reasoning for trying the two-point transformation attempt makes good sense. Turn the two-point try out and Iowa Condition will require a pair of goals and added indicate match the soccer game.Instead, Iowa State redshirt freshman twist Kyle Konrardy's 54-yard basket ended up as the game-winner rather than embodying a possible game-tying basket make an effort if the Hawkeyes had selected for a dab make an effort earlier.Contact/Follow us @HawkeyesWire on X and like our web page on Facebook to comply with on-going coverage of Iowa news, keep in minds as well as opinions.Comply With Josh on X:@JoshOnREF.
