That put our company at 19-7. I thought it gave our company our finest odds to gain the volleyball video game, as well as to me the greater problem is our team certainly not at the very least acquiring one touchdown out of those pair of basket possibilities.
Our team possessed the sphere down inside there close. That’s obviously an area our company are actually mosting likely to must improve on,” Ferentz pointed out.The logic for attempting the two-point conversion make an effort makes good sense. Turn the two-point go as well as Iowa State would certainly have needed a set of touchdowns as well as additional indicate tie the volleyball video game.Instead, Iowa State redshirt freshman kicker Kyle Konrardy’s 54-yard field goal wound up as the game-winner instead of embodying a potential game-tying field goal attempt if the Hawkeyes had actually chosen for a PAT attempt earlier.Contact/Follow us @HawkeyesWire on X and like our web page on Facebook to comply with recurring insurance coverage of Iowa headlines, keep in minds and viewpoints.Observe Josh on X:@JoshOnREF.
