For Nebraska I say it's Buffalo.

The Huskers will have their heads in the clouds all week from all the fan and media praise after stomping a mudhole in Fordham. They'll be partying it up, banging Susy Rottencrotch, and won't be paying attention in practice.
They'll also be looking ahead to Oklahoma the following week.

Aug 28: @ Illinois (Nebraska -8)
Sept 4: Fordham (Likely No line)
Sept 11: Buffalo (?? Sure to be double digits)
Sept 18: @ Oklahoma

Nebraska may not lose to Buffalo, but they won't cover by whatever they'll be favored by.
Take Buffalo and the points.

I'll be throwing down on Buffalo if Nebraska wins @ Illinois, beats Fordham by 30+, and is favored by more than 17 pts against Buffalo.

You just know lowly G5 Buffalo's got the Huskers (their only P5 opponent) circled on their schedule in the locker room, training table, and meeting room. The MAC attack!!!
 
There are no such things as trap games at this level. Every coach prepares Every team for every game every week.

Do they lead with their heads too?

That's nice cliche and all, but every coach says it. Do you think they'd tell you any different? I know I can hear Charlie Strong and Tom Herman uttering those bold words. LOL

The fact of the matter is the coaches aren't the one's playing the games. It's 18-22 year old's with a lot of distractions in their lives.
You're a tejas fan. You ever heard the phrase "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink"?

“Trap game” is the cliche.
prep and effort and readiness is the reality.

No fucking shit? You're quite the sage.
That's actually the goal, but not always the "reality".

It's not at all uncommon for players to get caught taking other teams for granted in practice week.
It's not at all uncommon for players to get caught looking ahead to a bigger game.
Coaches can preach that bold bullshit all they want.

Have you ever even footballed, or have you always just been a cheer jersey boy?
Being you think every player leads with his head, I'm guessing the latter. LOL
 
As a matter of fact, I could very easily see the Buckeyes' opener in primetime, @ Minnesota, as being a bit of a trapper, given that they play their big OOC game vs Oregon the following week.
