.The Iowa Hawkeyes are actually licking their injuries from a sensational 20-19 competition loss versus the Iowa Condition Cyclones.Regardless of locking out the Cyclones in the first one-half and leading 13-0 at halftime, the Hawkeyes' frustrating second-half functionality left behind onlookers with lots of questions.One of those was Iowa mind regulation football train Kirk Ferentz's selection to opt for a two-point transformation try out.After Iowa Condition scored its very first touchdown of the day along with a 3-yard touchdown grab coming from elderly Jayden Higgins along with 8:48 left behind in the 3rd one-fourth, Iowa responded with a 7-play, 79-yard ride that ended with a 3-yard touchdown fly jr running back Kaleb Johnson.Along with the Hawkeyes leading 19-7 after Johnson's touchdown plunge as well as 4:47 staying in the third quarter, Ferentz and also Iowa chose to try for a two-point conversion to likely prolong the Hawkeyes' lead to 21-7.The two-point shot failed as graduate quarterback Cade McNamara could not connect with fresher pass receiver Reece Vander Zee in the corner of the end zone.Later on, Ferentz was actually asked them about his selection to try for the two-point transformation." Yeah, I mean, I assume perhaps the argument would certainly be actually is it untimely, that type of factor. That put our team at 19-7. I thought it offered us our best chance to succeed the football game, and to me the much bigger problem is our company certainly not at the very least acquiring one touchdown away from those two field goal chances. We possessed the ball down inside there close. That's certainly a location our team are actually going to have to improve," Ferentz mentioned.The reasoning for seeking the two-point transformation make an effort makes good sense. Turn the two-point try and also Iowa State would certainly require a pair of touchdowns as well as additional points to match the volleyball activity.Rather, Iowa State redshirt fresher kicker Kyle Konrardy's 54-yard field goal wound up as the game-winner as opposed to exemplifying a prospective game-tying field goal attempt if the Hawkeyes had actually chosen for a dab attempt earlier.Contact/Follow our company @HawkeyesWire on X and also like our page on Facebook to comply with continuous protection of Iowa updates, notes and also viewpoints.Observe Josh on X:@JoshOnREF.
