re: Western Kentucky is potentially a trap game for us.

I hate the term "trap game"

Why?

It's universally known that teams can overlook an opponent. Usually it's a lesser opponent that's OOC and teams just don't get fired up and play with lower intensity and lack of focus.

When that happens, the game is usually closer than expected (at least in the first half). Fortunatley, the better team eventually wakes up and "flips the switch" at some point and they pull away, but not always.

But trap games are very real. Best to acknowledge that.

By the way, the Arkansas game last year was a classic trap game. I called that one when I saw the schedule. It was on the road the week after Bama. I knew we'd be emotionally spent and they'd be pumped, and that's exactly what happened.
