.The Iowa Hawkeyes are stroking their wounds from a sensational 20-19 competition loss versus the Iowa Condition Cyclones.Despite shutting out the Cyclones in the very first fifty percent as well as leading 13-0 at halftime, the Hawkeyes' disappointing second-half functionality left behind observers along with plenty of concerns.Some of those was actually Iowa mind soccer trainer Kirk Ferentz's choice to choose a two-point transformation try.After Iowa Condition scored its first touchdown of the time with a 3-yard goal grab coming from elderly Jayden Higgins along with 8:48 left in the third one-fourth, Iowa responded along with a 7-play, 79-yard drive that finished with a 3-yard touchdown run from jr operating back Kaleb Johnson.With the Hawkeyes leading 19-7 after Johnson's touchdown jump as well as 4:47 staying in the 3rd fourth, Ferentz and also Iowa chose to try for a two-point transformation to potentially extend the Hawkeyes' bring about 21-7.The two-point go failed as graduate quarterback Cade McNamara couldn't associate with fresher pass receiver Reece Vander Zee in the edge of completion region.Afterwards, Ferentz was actually asked about his selection to try for the two-point conversion." Yeah, I mean, I assume possibly the controversy would certainly be actually is it untimely, that form of thing. That put our team at 19-7. I presumed it provided us our greatest opportunity to win the volleyball activity, and also to me the greater problem is us not at the very least getting one touchdown away from those 2 field goal opportunities. Our experts had the sphere down inside there close. That's obviously an area we're visiting must improve," Ferentz pointed out.The logic for attempting the two-point transformation make an effort makes sense. Turn the two-point try as well as Iowa Condition will require a pair of touchdowns and additional lead to tie the football activity.Instead, Iowa Condition redshirt fresher twist Kyle Konrardy's 54-yard basket ended up as the game-winner rather than standing for a potential game-tying basket attempt if the Hawkeyes had actually selected for a dab attempt earlier.Contact/Follow our company @HawkeyesWire on X and also like our page on Facebook to follow continuous protection of Iowa news, details and also viewpoints.Observe Josh on X:@JoshOnREF.
