IOWA CITY, Iowa -- Iowa survived non-conference play -- but it hardly went unscathed.

Nate Stanley threw for 197 yards and a pair of touchdowns and Iowa overwhelmed North Texas 31-14 on Saturday.

Freshman Ivory Kelly-Martin added 74 yards rushing and two TDs for the Hawkeyes (3-0), who played most of the second half without running backs Akrum Wadley and James Butler.

Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said Wadley's undisclosed right leg issue isn't "anything serious" and that Butler had an "elbow issue" and will be day-to-day.

"There was nothing easy out there," Ferentz said.
