IOWA CITY, Iowa -- The University of Iowa football team is an overwhelming favorite to move to 4-0 Saturday with North Texas coming to Kinnick Stadium, but UI head coach Kirk Ferentz cautions that games aren’t won on paper.

During the 2009 season the Hawkeyes were a heavy favorite over Arkansas State. Iowa had a 4-0 record following a 21-10 victory over fourth-ranked Penn State when the Sun Belt Conference foe made its way to Iowa City. The Hawkeyes escaped that Oct. 3 day with a 24-21 win.
