Sporting News shared a list of ‘trap games’ for the teams ranked in the top 20. Here’s what Bill Bender of SN wrote about the Wolverines 2016-17 schedule:
vs. Wisconsin (Oct. 1) — “It’s a trap!” Expectations are off the charts in Ann Arbor under second-year coach Jim Harbaugh, and the schedule includes high-difficulty road tests at Michigan State, Iowa and Ohio State. But it’s a tricky home game against the Badgers — that comes the week after Penn State — where the Wolverines needs to be careful. The Badgers won 10 games last year and play with the same physical style.
