.The Iowa Hawkeyes are actually licking their wounds coming from an impressive 20-19 rivalry loss versus the Iowa State Cyclones.In spite of locking out the Cyclones in the initial half as well as leading 13-0 at halftime, the Hawkeyes' unsatisfactory second-half functionality left observers with a lot of concerns.One of those was actually Iowa mind regulation football train Kirk Ferentz's choice to go for a two-point transformation shot.After Iowa Condition scored its own first touchdown of the day along with a 3-yard touchdown grab from senior Jayden Higgins 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 touchdown run from jr running back Kaleb Johnson.Along with the Hawkeyes leading 19-7 after Johnson's goal dive as well as 4:47 continuing to be in the third quarter, Ferentz and also Iowa opted to pursue a two-point transformation to possibly prolong the Hawkeyes' trigger 21-7.The two-point try fell short as graduate quarterback Cade McNamara couldn't associate with freshman wide receiver Reece Vander Zee in the section of completion area.After that, Ferentz was asked them about his selection to pursue the two-point transformation." Yeah, I imply, I believe maybe the argument would be is it too early, that type of factor. That put our company at 19-7. I assumed it provided our company our ideal opportunity to succeed the volleyball video game, as well as to me the bigger problem is us not a minimum of obtaining one goal away from those 2 basket possibilities. Our team had the ball down inside there close. That is actually certainly an area our company're going to must improve on," Ferentz said.The logic for trying the two-point conversion try makes good sense. Turn the two-point go and Iowa Condition would require a set of goals and additional suggest tie the soccer activity.Instead, Iowa Condition redshirt fresher kicker Kyle Konrardy's 54-yard field goal ended up as the game-winner as opposed to embodying a potential game-tying basket attempt if the Hawkeyes had actually chosen for a dab try earlier.Contact/Follow our company @HawkeyesWire on X and also like our page on Facebook to observe on-going insurance coverage of Iowa headlines, notes as well as opinions.Follow Josh on X:@JoshOnREF.
