.The Iowa Hawkeyes are actually licking their wounds coming from a stunning 20-19 competition loss versus the Iowa State Cyclones.In spite of locking out the Cyclones in the initial fifty percent and also leading 13-0 at halftime, the Hawkeyes' frustrating second-half functionality left behind sightseers along with plenty of questions.Some of those was actually Iowa mind soccer train Kirk Ferentz's decision to opt for a two-point conversion try.After Iowa Condition scored its own initial goal of the day with a 3-yard touchdown grab from senior Jayden Higgins along with 8:48 left behind in the 3rd quarter, Iowa answered with a 7-play, 79-yard drive that ended along with a 3-yard goal range from junior operating back Kaleb Johnson.Along with the Hawkeyes leading 19-7 after Johnson's goal dive and 4:47 continuing to be in the third fourth, Ferentz and also Iowa chose to try for a two-point conversion to likely extend the Hawkeyes' bring about 21-7.The two-point try out stopped working as graduate quarterback Cade McNamara couldn't get in touch with freshman wide receiver Reece Vander Zee in the edge of the end zone.Later on, Ferentz was inquired about his decision to try for the two-point conversion." Yeah, I imply, I think perhaps the discussion would be actually is it prematurely, that type of trait. That put us at 19-7. I assumed it gave us our best chance to succeed the football game, and to me the greater concern is our company certainly not at the very least receiving one goal away from those pair of basket options. We possessed the ball down inside there close. That's obviously a location our company are actually visiting must improve," Ferentz stated.The reasoning for seeking the two-point conversion try makes sense. Turn the two-point try and Iowa Condition will require a pair of touchdowns and also additional suggest match the soccer video game.Instead, Iowa Condition redshirt freshman secret Kyle Konrardy's 54-yard basket ended up as the game-winner as opposed to exemplifying a prospective game-tying basket try if the Hawkeyes had elected for a PAT attempt earlier.Contact/Follow our company @HawkeyesWire on X and also like our web page on Facebook to comply with recurring protection of Iowa information, notes as well as opinions.Observe Josh on X:@JoshOnREF.
