.The Iowa Hawkeyes are actually licking their injuries from a sensational 20-19 rivalry loss versus the Iowa Condition Cyclones.Despite shutting out the Cyclones in the initial fifty percent and leading 13-0 at halftime, the Hawkeyes' disappointing second-half performance left onlookers with a lot of questions.One of those was actually Iowa head regulation football instructor Kirk Ferentz's decision to opt for a two-point sale go.After Iowa Condition scored its first goal of the day along with a 3-yard goal grab coming from elderly Jayden Higgins with 8:48 left behind in the 3rd fourth, Iowa reacted with a 7-play, 79-yard ride that ended along with a 3-yard touchdown run from junior running back Kaleb Johnson.With the Hawkeyes leading 19-7 after Johnson's touchdown dive and 4:47 continuing to be in the 3rd fourth, Ferentz and Iowa opted to try for a two-point conversion to possibly stretch the Hawkeyes' bring about 21-7.The two-point shot fell short as graduate quarterback Cade McNamara could not connect with freshman pass receiver Reece Vander Zee in the corner of completion region.Afterwards, Ferentz was asked them about his choice to pursue the two-point transformation." Yeah, I mean, I assume maybe the dispute would certainly be actually is it untimely, that type of trait. That put our team at 19-7. I thought it gave our company our best possibility to succeed the football video game, and also to me the larger concern is our company certainly not at the very least obtaining one touchdown away from those pair of basket possibilities. We had the sphere down inside there close. That is actually certainly a place our company're visiting have to improve on," Ferentz claimed.The logic for trying the two-point transformation make an effort makes good sense. Change the two-point shot and Iowa State will require a set of touchdowns as well as extra indicate match the soccer activity.As An Alternative, Iowa Condition redshirt freshman kicker Kyle Konrardy's 54-yard basket wound up as the game-winner rather than exemplifying a prospective game-tying basket make an effort if the Hawkeyes had chosen for a dab make an effort earlier.Contact/Follow us @HawkeyesWire on X and like our page on Facebook to comply with ongoing coverage of Iowa news, notes and also point of views.Follow Josh on X:@JoshOnREF.
