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 what will be the must-win game and the potential trap game for each league team this fall. Up next: the Purdue Boilermakers.
Must-win game: Nov. 4 vs. Illinois. The Boilermakers’ lone conference win last year came against the Fighting Illini. In fact, it was the only road Big Ten victory of Darrell Hazell's tenure.
