.The Iowa Hawkeyes are licking their cuts from a magnificent 20-19 rivalry loss versus the Iowa Condition Cyclones.Despite locking out the Cyclones in the very first fifty percent and leading 13-0 at halftime, the Hawkeyes' frustrating second-half efficiency left observers along with plenty of questions.One of those was actually Iowa mind football trainer Kirk Ferentz's choice to pick a two-point sale try.After Iowa State scored its very first touchdown of the time with a 3-yard touchdown grab from senior Jayden Higgins with 8:48 left in the third one-fourth, Iowa reacted along with a 7-play, 79-yard travel that finished with a 3-yard goal range from junior operating back Kaleb Johnson.With the Hawkeyes leading 19-7 after Johnson's touchdown plunge and also 4:47 remaining in the 3rd fourth, Ferentz as well as Iowa decided to try for a two-point sale to potentially prolong the Hawkeyes' trigger 21-7.The two-point go failed as graduate quarterback Cade McNamara couldn't connect with freshman pass receiver Reece Vander Zee in the corner of the end region.Later on, Ferentz was asked them about his decision to try for the two-point transformation." Yeah, I mean, I assume maybe the discussion would be actually is it untimely, that sort of point. That placed us at 19-7. I assumed it provided us our ideal chance to win the volleyball game, and also to me the bigger problem is our team not at least acquiring one goal out of those 2 field goal opportunities. Our team possessed the sphere down inside there close. That's certainly a location we are actually heading to must improve on," Ferentz claimed.The logic for trying the two-point sale try makes good sense. Turn the two-point shot as well as Iowa Condition would certainly have needed a pair of touchdowns and also added indicate tie the volleyball game.As An Alternative, Iowa Condition redshirt freshman secret Kyle Konrardy's 54-yard field goal ended up as the game-winner rather than embodying a prospective game-tying basket attempt 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 observe recurring coverage of Iowa updates, keep in minds and also viewpoints.Comply With Josh on X:@JoshOnREF.
