.The Iowa Hawkeyes are actually stroking their cuts coming from a stunning 20-19 competition loss versus the Iowa State Cyclones.In spite of shutting out the Cyclones in the initial one-half as well as leading 13-0 at halftime, the Hawkeyes' disappointing second-half efficiency left onlookers with plenty of concerns.Among those was actually Iowa mind regulation football trainer Kirk Ferentz's choice to choose a two-point sale shot.After Iowa State scored its very first goal of the day with a 3-yard goal grab from senior Jayden Higgins with 8:48 left behind in the third fourth, Iowa responded with a 7-play, 79-yard drive that ended with a 3-yard goal fly jr operating back Kaleb Johnson.With the Hawkeyes leading 19-7 after Johnson's goal plunge and 4:47 continuing to be in the 3rd one-fourth, Ferentz and Iowa opted to try for a two-point conversion to possibly stretch the Hawkeyes' result in 21-7.The two-point try fell short as graduate quarterback Cade McNamara couldn't associate with fresher pass receiver Reece Vander Zee in the edge of completion zone.After that, Ferentz was actually asked about his choice to try for the two-point conversion." Yeah, I mean, I think possibly the debate would certainly be actually is it too early, that sort of factor. That put our company at 19-7. I believed it offered our team our best chance to succeed the volleyball video game, and also to me the bigger concern is us certainly not at the very least receiving one touchdown away from those two field goal chances. Our experts had the round down inside there close. That is actually obviously an area we're mosting likely to need to improve," Ferentz said.The logic for trying the two-point conversion attempt makes sense. Change the two-point try out as well as Iowa State will have needed a set of touchdowns and also added lead to tie the football video game.Instead, Iowa State redshirt freshman secret Kyle Konrardy's 54-yard field goal ended up as the game-winner instead of exemplifying a possible game-tying field goal attempt if the Hawkeyes had actually elected for a PAT try earlier.Contact/Follow us @HawkeyesWire on X and also like our web page on Facebook to observe on-going protection of Iowa news, keep in minds and also viewpoints.Comply With Josh on X:@JoshOnREF.
