Pep rally prepares Hawkeye fans for TaxSlayer Bowl
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Less than 24 hours remains before the Iowa Hawkeyes take the field against the Tennessee Volunteers in the TaxSlayer Bowl.
Thursday, Hawkeye fans packed into Horseshoe Landing in Jacksonville for the team's official pep rally.
The Hawkeye Marching Band, Herky and cheerleaders helped to get the fans fired up.
One family drove through the night to make it in time and missed celebrating New Year's Eve due to the time zone change.
