.The Iowa Hawkeyes are actually licking their wounds coming from an impressive 20-19 rivalry loss versus the Iowa State Cyclones.Even with shutting out the Cyclones in the very first half and leading 13-0 at halftime, the Hawkeyes' unsatisfactory second-half efficiency left observers with loads of questions.Among those was Iowa mind soccer train Kirk Ferentz's choice to go for a two-point transformation try.After Iowa State scored its own first goal of the time along with a 3-yard goal grab from elderly Jayden Higgins with 8:48 left in the third quarter, Iowa reacted with a 7-play, 79-yard drive that finished along with a 3-yard goal run from younger operating back Kaleb Johnson.With the Hawkeyes leading 19-7 after Johnson's goal jump and 4:47 remaining in the 3rd fourth, Ferentz as well as Iowa opted to try for a two-point transformation to likely prolong the Hawkeyes' result in 21-7.The two-point go stopped working as graduate quarterback Cade McNamara couldn't get in touch with fresher pass receiver Reece Vander Zee in the edge of completion zone.Later on, Ferentz was asked them about his decision to pursue the two-point conversion." Yeah, I imply, I presume maybe the argument would be is it too early, that sort of thing. That put our company at 19-7. I thought it gave our company our greatest possibility to win the volleyball activity, and to me the much bigger issue is our company not a minimum of getting one touchdown out of those pair of basket chances. We had the ball down inside there close. That is actually obviously a location we're heading to need to enhance," Ferentz pointed out.The logic for trying the two-point transformation make an effort makes sense. Transform the two-point try as well as Iowa Condition will have needed a set of goals and also additional suggest match the soccer video game.Instead, Iowa Condition redshirt freshman twist Kyle Konrardy's 54-yard field goal wound up as the game-winner instead of working with a possible game-tying basket attempt if the Hawkeyes had actually elected for a PAT try earlier.Contact/Follow our team @HawkeyesWire on X as well as like our web page on Facebook to follow recurring insurance coverage of Iowa headlines, notes and point of views.Adhere To Josh on X:@JoshOnREF.
