Trap games are like the one we just had where you can overlook it after a big game and before another big game. I don't see Utah being a trap game. It's just a tough game because it's on the road against another team with a solid defense that is now 7-1. And it'a CGD game which means the national ESPN guys will be doing interviews and production pieces on the some of the team. That brings other distractions and pressures.
That's how I would describe a trap game too. If everything stays as is for the next few weeks, with Wazzu in second place in the Pac-12 North with no conference losses heading into the Apple Cup, I'd say that the remaining trap games on the schedule are @cal and home for ASU. The Cal game would be a trap because the Dawgs would theoretically be coming off of the high of beating Utah on the road and having to go on the road again to face an inferior team. The possibility of the Apple Cup also turning into a battle for the Pac-12 North title in the final week of the regular season could turn the ASU game into a trap game because of the temptation to look past ASU towards the Apple Cup.
