.The Iowa Hawkeyes are actually licking their injuries from a remarkable 20-19 rivalry loss versus the Iowa Condition Cyclones.Despite shutting out the Cyclones in the first half as well as leading 13-0 at halftime, the Hawkeyes' unsatisfying second-half functionality left sightseers with a lot of questions.Among those was Iowa head football trainer Kirk Ferentz's selection to go for a two-point sale shot.After Iowa State scored its 1st goal of the day along with a 3-yard touchdown grab coming from senior Jayden Higgins with 8:48 left in the third one-fourth, Iowa answered with a 7-play, 79-yard drive that ended with a 3-yard goal run from jr operating back Kaleb Johnson.With the Hawkeyes leading 19-7 after Johnson's goal dive as well as 4:47 continuing to be in the 3rd one-fourth, Ferentz and also Iowa decided to try for a two-point conversion to potentially expand the Hawkeyes' trigger 21-7.The two-point go failed as graduate quarterback Cade McNamara couldn't associate with freshman wide receiver Reece Vander Zee in the corner of completion region.After that, Ferentz was asked about his selection to pursue the two-point sale." Yeah, I imply, I presume perhaps the debate will be actually is it too early, that type of point. That put us at 19-7. I assumed it gave us our best opportunity to gain the volleyball activity, and to me the greater problem is our team certainly not a minimum of obtaining one goal out of those two basket possibilities. Our experts had the sphere down inside there close. That is actually definitely a place our experts're heading to need to improve," Ferentz claimed.The logic for seeking the two-point conversion make an effort makes sense. Change the two-point try and also Iowa Condition would certainly have needed a set of goals and also extra points to tie the volleyball video game.As An Alternative, Iowa State redshirt fresher twist Kyle Konrardy's 54-yard field goal wound up as the game-winner as opposed to embodying a possible game-tying basket try if the Hawkeyes had actually elected for a PAT make an effort earlier.Contact/Follow us @HawkeyesWire on X and also like our page on Facebook to comply with ongoing protection of Iowa headlines, keep in minds and point of views.Adhere To Josh on X:@JoshOnREF.
