With Saturday’s dramatic win over Penn State in the rearview mirror, Michigan football players and coaches returned to Schembechler Hall to prepare for the ultimate trap game.
At 9-1 and ranked No. 7 in the latest USA Today coaches poll, the only thing separating Michigan from a date with Ohio State — a showdown that could decide, among other things, which Big Ten school has the best chance of reaching the College Football Playoff — is a trip to Maryland, an opponent that has lost five of its last six games.
“That’s a huge challenge for us this week is we have to be able to remain focused on Maryland,” quarterback Cade McNamara said.
