.The Iowa Hawkeyes are licking their injuries from a sensational 20-19 rivalry loss versus the Iowa State Cyclones.Even with locking out the Cyclones in the very first half and leading 13-0 at halftime, the Hawkeyes' frustrating second-half functionality left observers with loads of inquiries.One of those was actually Iowa mind football train Kirk Ferentz's decision to choose a two-point sale try.After Iowa Condition scored its own very first goal of the day with a 3-yard touchdown grab coming from elderly Jayden Higgins with 8:48 left in the third one-fourth, Iowa reacted with a 7-play, 79-yard ride that ended along with a 3-yard goal range from younger running back Kaleb Johnson.With the Hawkeyes leading 19-7 after Johnson's goal dive and also 4:47 remaining in the third quarter, Ferentz and Iowa opted to pursue a two-point conversion to potentially extend the Hawkeyes' trigger 21-7.The two-point try out neglected as graduate quarterback Cade McNamara could not associate with freshman wide receiver Reece Vander Zee in the corner of the end zone.Afterwards, Ferentz was asked about his decision to pursue the two-point transformation." Yeah, I imply, I believe possibly the argument will be is it prematurely, that type of thing. That placed our company at 19-7. I believed it provided us our ideal opportunity to gain the football game, as well as to me the bigger problem is our team not at least getting one goal out of those pair of basket options. We had the ball down inside there close. That's obviously an area our team are actually visiting must enhance," Ferentz stated.The logic for attempting the two-point conversion try makes sense. Transform the two-point shot and Iowa Condition will require a pair of goals as well as extra points to tie the football game.As An Alternative, Iowa State redshirt freshman twist Kyle Konrardy's 54-yard field goal wound up as the game-winner rather than embodying a potential game-tying basket make an effort if the Hawkeyes had elected for a PAT make an effort earlier.Contact/Follow us @HawkeyesWire on X and also like our web page on Facebook to adhere to continuous protection of Iowa information, keep in minds and also point of views.Observe Josh on X:@JoshOnREF.
