.The Iowa Hawkeyes are licking their cuts from an impressive 20-19 rivalry reduction versus the Iowa State Cyclones.Even with locking out the Cyclones in the first one-half and leading 13-0 at halftime, the Hawkeyes' unsatisfying second-half functionality left behind onlookers along with loads of questions.One of those was Iowa mind soccer train Kirk Ferentz's selection to go for a two-point transformation try out.After Iowa State scored its 1st touchdown of the day along with a 3-yard touchdown grab from elderly Jayden Higgins with 8:48 left behind in the third one-fourth, Iowa reacted with a 7-play, 79-yard travel that finished with a 3-yard goal run from younger operating back Kaleb Johnson.With the Hawkeyes leading 19-7 after Johnson's touchdown dive as well as 4:47 continuing to be in the 3rd quarter, Ferentz as well as Iowa decided to try for a two-point conversion to potentially expand the Hawkeyes' trigger 21-7.The two-point try failed as graduate quarterback Cade McNamara could not associate with fresher wide receiver Reece Vander Zee in the corner of the end zone.After that, Ferentz was inquired about his selection to try for the two-point sale." Yeah, I imply, I presume possibly the debate will be actually is it too early, that form of point. That placed us at 19-7. I assumed it offered our team our finest odds to win the soccer game, as well as to me the larger problem is our team not at least getting one goal away from those two field goal options. Our team possessed the ball down inside there close. That's definitely a region our company're visiting need to improve on," Ferentz said.The logic for attempting the two-point conversion try makes good sense. Change the two-point try out and also Iowa Condition would certainly have needed a pair of goals and additional lead to tie the football game.Instead, Iowa Condition redshirt freshman twist Kyle Konrardy's 54-yard basket ended up as the game-winner as opposed to embodying a prospective game-tying basket make an effort if the Hawkeyes had selected for a dab try earlier.Contact/Follow us @HawkeyesWire on X and also like our web page on Facebook to observe recurring coverage of Iowa information, notes and also point of views.Follow Josh on X:@JoshOnREF.
