Iowa Football got a surprise visitor at a weekend practice

We are only three days away from Iowa's ReliaQuest Bowl matchup with No. 14 Vanderbilt.

The Hawkeyes arrived in Tampa on Christmas Day and have been diligently preparing for their game this Wednesday.

This will be Iowa's seventh appearance at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, its first since the name changed from the Outback Bowl to the ReliaQuest Bowl.

While it will be a familiar venue for the Hawkeyes, they had to work hard to get there this season.

Iowa had a challenging regular-season schedule, and its only four losses were to ranked teams by a combined 15 points.
