The 2017 season is still several months away. But we never stop looking forward here at the Big Ten blog.
It may be ridiculously early, but we're examining the must-win game and the potential trap game for each league team this fall. Up next: the Maryland Terrapins
Must-win game: vs. Rutgers, Nov. 4 (at Yankee Stadium)
For the first time since both joined the Big Ten, Rutgers and Maryland won't play each other in the season finale. Instead, this year's game -- the "Big Ten Battle in the Bronx" at Yankee Stadium -- will be in early November, while the Terps end the season against Penn State.
