I'm sure y'all are tired of me bitching about Iowa handling 2-pt conversions like nuclear waste, so I will share the following info and then never speak of them again. Chad L. posted an article today about the issue, with some facts. Over the last 9 seasons, Iowa is 4 for 21 in 2-pt conversions, for 19%. (The national average during the 2024 season was 48%.) Since Lester took the offensive reins, the Hawks are 0-6. The kicker? Gronowski said this week that Iowa "doesn't really practice 2-pt conversions." They simply use other typical Red Zone short yardage plays -- as if 3rd and 4 on the 15 yd line is the same as a 2-pt conversion from the 3.
For a team that consistently is in close games where every 2-pt conversion potentially makes a difference between winning and losing -- I don't even know how to respond to that info.
