2 pt Conversions

[SCHawkeye2]

It seems to me that Iowa is alarmingly inept when attempting 2 pt conversions.
Almost as if they have no prepared plays for this contingency, the effort comes off as ill conceived and poorly executed.
And more often than not, unsuccessful.
Might want to 'clean up a few things' there.

Well. I mean.
They're not exactly lethal when they're in the red zone. So, this makes sense.

It helps if your QB can throw a pass that's not 5 feet over the WR's head

'Alarmingly inept' is an apt description. I was telling my Indiana friend who was at the game with me that I can't remember the last time Iowa successfully converted a 2-pt conversion. And then 0-2 again last night. It feels like a LONG time, and not because they haven't tried many!
This season's team should be especially well-equipped for 2-pt plays, with a strong running QB, strong running game, now two 6'5" WRs they can put in the game at the same time, plus an All-American scat-back. If you can't figure out 3-4 consistently successful 2-pt plays from that lineup, well....you're just not trying hard enough.
