.The Iowa Hawkeyes are licking their cuts from a magnificent 20-19 rivalry reduction versus the Iowa State Cyclones.In spite of locking out the Cyclones in the 1st half and leading 13-0 at halftime, the Hawkeyes' unsatisfying second-half performance left behind onlookers with a lot of questions.One of those was Iowa mind football trainer Kirk Ferentz's decision to pick a two-point transformation try out.After Iowa Condition scored its own first goal of the time along with a 3-yard goal grab coming from elderly Jayden Higgins with 8:48 left in the 3rd one-fourth, Iowa reacted along with a 7-play, 79-yard travel that ended along with a 3-yard goal fly younger running back Kaleb Johnson.Along with the Hawkeyes leading 19-7 after Johnson's touchdown dive and 4:47 staying in the 3rd fourth, Ferentz and also Iowa opted to try for a two-point sale to possibly expand the Hawkeyes' lead to 21-7.The two-point try out failed as graduate quarterback Cade McNamara couldn't get in touch with freshman pass receiver Reece Vander Zee in the section of completion zone.After that, Ferentz was inquired about his selection to try for the two-point sale." Yeah, I mean, I think perhaps the discussion would be actually is it untimely, that type of thing. That put our team at 19-7. I thought it offered our company our ideal opportunity to succeed the volleyball activity, and to me the much bigger issue is our company not a minimum of getting one goal away from those two basket possibilities. Our company had the round down inside there close. That is actually obviously an area our team're going to need to improve," Ferentz pointed out.The logic for trying the two-point transformation attempt makes good sense. Change the two-point go and Iowa Condition will require a pair of touchdowns and extra points to match the volleyball activity.Rather, Iowa State redshirt freshman kicker Kyle Konrardy's 54-yard basket ended up as the game-winner as opposed to representing a prospective game-tying field goal try if the Hawkeyes had elected for a dab try earlier.Contact/Follow our team @HawkeyesWire on X as well as like our webpage on Facebook to comply with recurring protection of Iowa news, details and also point of views.Observe Josh on X:@JoshOnREF.
