Ann Arbor – It’s the game before The Game, so it just has to be a “trap game.” At least that’s the easy approach, suggesting that a team’s focus is only on the big prize ahead and not the upcoming game.
Michigan, ranked No. 12, plays at Indiana on Saturday, a week before the Wolverines face unbeaten Ohio State in The Game at Michigan Stadium. The Buckeyes are 10-0 in Ryan Day’s first season as coach and are No. 2 in the College Football Playoff rankings and are projected to be in the four-team playoff.
The Buckeyes have won seven straight against Michigan and 14 of the last 15.
