Yeah, I imply, I think maybe the discussion would certainly be actually is it untimely, that form of thing. That placed our company at 19-7. I presumed it gave our team our ideal possibility to win the volleyball activity, as well as to me the larger issue is our company not at least receiving one goal out of those two basket chances. We had the sphere down inside there close. That's undoubtedly a location our company are actually mosting likely to have to improve on," Ferentz pointed out.The reasoning for trying the two-point conversion make an effort makes sense. Turn the two-point try and Iowa State will require a set of goals and also added indicate tie the volleyball video game.Rather, Iowa Condition redshirt freshman twist Kyle Konrardy's 54-yard field goal wound up as the game-winner instead of exemplifying a possible game-tying field goal make an effort if the Hawkeyes had elected for a dab try earlier.Contact/Follow our company @HawkeyesWire on X and like our web page on Facebook to observe ongoing coverage of Iowa headlines, notes and also point of views.Follow Josh on X:@JoshOnREF.
