When you look at the 2024 USC football schedule, a few obvious possibilities emerge when discussing a potential trap game for the Trojans this fall in the Big Ten Conference.
USC hosts Wisconsin on Sept. 28 and hosts Penn State on Oct. 12. That makes the Oct. 5 game against Minnesota a possible trap game for USC. The Wisconsin and Penn State games are featured attractions on the coming Big Ten schedule, so the Minnesota game could get lost in the shuffle and become a game the Trojans might overlook. They might devote a little less energy and focus to that game, compared to the other Big Ten battles on the slate this year.
After the Penn State game on Oct. 12, the Trojans have to go to Maryland. The notable part of the Maryland game on Oct. 19 is that it precedes a Friday game against Rutgers on Oct. 25. That Maryland game’s kickoff time has not been announced, but that game could easily be a noon Eastern time start, 9 a.m. in the West. That could become a “body clock game” which trips up the Trojans.
