The phrase trap game usually gets used at least once or twice a year. Pitt has one right out of the gate as they face Villanova in the opener.
Now, the Wildcats aren't a complete pushover. And as I mentioned in the game preview on Monday, they are a preseason Top 25 FCS team. But the Panthers should defeat Villanova if they show up and the schedule gets unquestionably more difficult after that game.
The trap for Pitt, in this case, is looking to their Week 2 matchup with Penn State. First order of business for head coach Pat Narduzzi?
