IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Jordan Canzeri ran for 115 yards and tied a school record with four touchdowns as Iowa trounced North Texas 62-16 Saturday for its fourth straight win. C.J. Beathard completed his first 15 passes and had 278 yards for the Hawkeyes (4-0), who open Big Ten play next week at Wisconsin after topping 60 points for the first time since 2002.

Iowa set its season high for points before halftime, racing out to a 35-13 lead. Canzeri’s final TD run put Iowa ahead 42-16. The win was the 119th at Iowa for coach Kirk Ferentz, matching former Badgers coach Barry Alvarez for victories by a Big Ten coach. Andrew McNulty had 137 yards passing and an interception for the Mean Green (0-3), who lost their third straight by double digits.
