I believed it gave our company our best chance to win the football video game, and to me the bigger problem is our team not at least obtaining one goal out of those 2 field goal chances. We possessed the ball down inside there close. That's undoubtedly a region our experts're going to have to improve on," Ferentz said.The reasoning for trying the two-point transformation attempt makes good sense. Change the two-point go and Iowa State would require a pair of touchdowns as well as added suggest match the football game.As An Alternative, Iowa Condition redshirt freshman kicker Kyle Konrardy's 54-yard field goal wound up as the game-winner rather than working with a potential game-tying field goal attempt if the Hawkeyes had selected for a dab try earlier.Contact/Follow our team @HawkeyesWire on X as well as like our page on Facebook to adhere to on-going coverage of Iowa news, keep in minds as well as viewpoints.Adhere To Josh on X:@JoshOnREF.
