.The Iowa Hawkeyes are actually licking their wounds coming from a stunning 20-19 competition loss versus the Iowa Condition Cyclones.Even with locking out the Cyclones in the first half and leading 13-0 at halftime, the Hawkeyes' disappointing second-half functionality left onlookers along with a lot of questions.Some of those was actually Iowa mind soccer coach Kirk Ferentz's selection to go for a two-point conversion try.After Iowa Condition scored its own first goal of the day 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 finished with a 3-yard touchdown run from younger operating back Kaleb Johnson.Along with the Hawkeyes leading 19-7 after Johnson's touchdown dive as well as 4:47 staying in the 3rd quarter, Ferentz and Iowa opted to try for a two-point sale to possibly stretch the Hawkeyes' cause 21-7.The two-point try out failed as graduate quarterback Cade McNamara could not get in touch with freshman wide receiver Reece Vander Zee in the edge of completion area.After that, Ferentz was actually asked about his selection to pursue the two-point sale." Yeah, I indicate, I assume possibly the dispute would certainly be actually is it untimely, that sort of point. That placed our team at 19-7. I presumed it gave our team our best odds to win the football video game, as well as to me the larger concern is our team not at the very least obtaining one goal out of those 2 basket opportunities. Our team had the ball down inside there close. That's clearly a place our experts're mosting likely to must improve on," Ferentz said.The reasoning for seeking the two-point conversion make an effort makes good sense. Convert the two-point go and Iowa Condition would require a pair of touchdowns and also extra indicate match the volleyball game.Instead, Iowa State redshirt freshman secret Kyle Konrardy's 54-yard field goal ended up as the game-winner instead of representing a possible game-tying field goal attempt if the Hawkeyes had chosen for a dab attempt earlier.Contact/Follow our team @HawkeyesWire on X as well as like our web page on Facebook to follow recurring insurance coverage of Iowa information, notes and also opinions.Comply With Josh on X:@JoshOnREF.
