.The Iowa Hawkeyes are actually licking their injuries from a remarkable 20-19 competition loss versus the Iowa Condition Cyclones.Regardless of shutting out the Cyclones in the first half and also leading 13-0 at halftime, the Hawkeyes' unsatisfactory second-half performance left behind onlookers along with a lot of concerns.Among those was actually Iowa head regulation football trainer Kirk Ferentz's selection to pick a two-point conversion shot.After Iowa State scored its very first touchdown of the time along with a 3-yard goal grab from elderly Jayden Higgins with 8:48 left in the 3rd fourth, Iowa reacted along with a 7-play, 79-yard drive that ended with a 3-yard touchdown fly junior running back Kaleb Johnson.With the Hawkeyes leading 19-7 after Johnson's touchdown dive and also 4:47 continuing to be in the 3rd fourth, Ferentz and also Iowa decided to pursue a two-point sale to potentially extend the Hawkeyes' bring about 21-7.The two-point shot fell short as graduate quarterback Cade McNamara could not associate with freshman wide receiver Reece Vander Zee in the section of the end zone.Later on, Ferentz was actually asked about his decision to try for the two-point sale." Yeah, I suggest, I think maybe the controversy will be is it untimely, that sort of factor. That placed our company at 19-7. I believed it offered our team our finest opportunity to win the football video game, as well as to me the larger issue is our team certainly not a minimum of receiving one goal out of those two field goal chances. We possessed the sphere down inside there close. That is actually undoubtedly a place our company are actually mosting likely to need to improve," Ferentz said.The reasoning for seeking the two-point sale attempt makes good sense. Change the two-point shot and Iowa Condition would certainly have needed a pair of goals as well as extra points to match the football game.Instead, Iowa State redshirt fresher twist Kyle Konrardy's 54-yard field goal ended up as the game-winner rather than working with a possible 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 like our web page on Facebook to follow recurring protection of Iowa information, details as well as viewpoints.Follow Josh on X:@JoshOnREF.
