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 Penn State Nittany Lions.
Must-win game: Sept. 9 vs. Pittsburgh. Last year’s renewal of a great college football rivalry served as one of the few low points during a great season in Happy Valley. The Panthers beat Penn State 42-39 after quarterback Trace McSorley threw an interception at the edge of field goal range of the Nittany Lions’ final drive of the game.
