ESPNs Brian Bennett on Gophers: Week 2 at Colorado State is an enormous trap game.

[BleedGopher]

per Bennett's Q&A:

@lukebilotta: @BennettESPN biggest trap games for OSU, MSU, Wisconsin and any other B1G teams you view as a contender?

Minnesota: I've written this before, but Week 2 at Colorado State is an enormous trap game. The Rams won 10 games last year and have an offensive style that can give the Gophers trouble. Throw in the altitude and the fact that it follows a tough, heavily-hyped opener against TCU and this has Ackbars, uh, crab prints all over it. Jerry Kill knows that, as well, saying this week that the Colorado State game might be the toughest one his team plays this year.

I will say, if we lose to tcu and don't show up week 2, this season could easily unravel. That's not a ding on the leadership of this team, but it's extremely difficult to recover from that even though both losses would have no impact on the west race

I'm more worried about facing Ohio for homecoming. Frank Solich is a great coach and has proven he can beat top competition. CSU is going through a big transition this year with a new coach and QB

Someone tell me how CSU has strengthened their ability to stop the power run! That's what they couldn't do last year, that's what we do well, they no longer have their outstanding QB, but they have an outstanding receiver, that's what we defend well. I might agree with Bennett if the match-ups weren't so clearly in our favor.

Of the games I'm worried about this season, this one is not high on the list.

Ass-Kicking.

Done.

Every game we face is a "trap" game. There's not a game we cannot lose with the right combination of turnovers, missed tackles and injuries. Trust Kill & Co. to avoid these.

A road game against a quality program is not a "trap" game. Nice writing.
