Iowa will be without head coach Kirk Ferentz on Saturday when the Hawkeyes host Illinois State. Ferentz is serving a one game suspension for a recruiting violation and assistant head coach Seth Wallace will have the final call on the sideline.
Ferentz wants to see the new offense under coordinator Tim Lester play a sound game.
The Hawkeyes are a three touchdown favorite, but Ferentz says upsets happen every week.
