.The Iowa Hawkeyes are licking their wounds from a magnificent 20-19 competition loss versus the Iowa State Cyclones.Despite shutting out the Cyclones in the first half and leading 13-0 at halftime, the Hawkeyes' unsatisfactory second-half efficiency left behind observers with loads of concerns.Among those was Iowa head soccer coach Kirk Ferentz's selection to opt for a two-point conversion go.After Iowa Condition scored its very first goal of the time along with a 3-yard goal grab from senior Jayden Higgins along with 8:48 left behind in the third quarter, Iowa answered with a 7-play, 79-yard ride that finished with a 3-yard goal run from junior operating back Kaleb Johnson.Along with the Hawkeyes leading 19-7 after Johnson's goal dive as well as 4:47 staying in the 3rd fourth, Ferentz and also Iowa chose to try for a two-point sale to potentially extend the Hawkeyes' bring about 21-7.The two-point shot failed as graduate quarterback Cade McNamara couldn't get in touch with freshman wide receiver Reece Vander Zee in the section of the end region.Afterwards, Ferentz was actually asked about his selection to pursue the two-point conversion." Yeah, I mean, I think perhaps the argument would certainly be is it too early, that form of trait. That placed us at 19-7. I believed it gave us our best odds to gain the football game, and also to me the larger concern is us certainly not at the very least acquiring one touchdown away from those two field goal opportunities. Our experts had the ball down inside there close. That's definitely a region our experts're heading to must improve," Ferentz pointed out.The logic for seeking the two-point transformation attempt makes good sense. Transform the two-point go and Iowa Condition would require a set of goals as well as additional points to match the football game.Rather, Iowa State redshirt fresher kicker Kyle Konrardy's 54-yard basket wound up as the game-winner rather than embodying a prospective game-tying basket attempt if the Hawkeyes had chosen for a PAT attempt earlier.Contact/Follow our team @HawkeyesWire on X and also like our page on Facebook to adhere to ongoing coverage of Iowa updates, keep in minds and viewpoints.Follow Josh on X:@JoshOnREF.
