IOWA CITY, Iowa -- Mark Bortz, Pat Dean, and Jim Pekar not only played for the University of Iowa football team, their position coach was Dan McCarney.

McCarney will be on the visiting sideline Saturday when North Texas (0-2) plays the undefeated Hawkeyes (3-0) inside Kinnick Stadium; Bortz, Dean, and Pekar will serve as honorary captains.

The message from all three former Iowa defensive linemen was consistent: Watch out.

“I know that guy who is coaching against you tomorrow,” Dean said Friday in the Stew and LeNore Hansen Football Performance Center.
