Here are the Match 3 Games so far on Blue Through and Through.  There are currently three but these will be expanded greatly in the weeks and months to come.  They are listed with the most current first.  (Note:  answers to all Match 3 games can be found by clicking on Read More.)

Game Three:
Another Match 3--There are three columns below.  I am calling this one "Layers of Defense".  The first column lists a starter on the defensive line, the second lists a starter at linebacker and the third column lists a starter at safety for Boise State.  The object of the game is to match the starter on the defensive line with a starting linebacker from the same year and a starting safety from that same year.  In this game, there are no overlaps so in that way it is easier.  When you are done, you should have five "layers of defense" consisting of three starters from the same year, a defensive lineman, a linebacker and a safety.

Defensive Lineman                      Linebacker                      Safety
Saia Misa, Jr.                              Andy Avalos                   Jeff Davis
Marcus Koch                              Aaron Tevis                    Phil Bartle
Ryan Winterswyck                      Bryan Johnson                 Jim Meeks
Julius Roberts                              Jim Ellis                           George Iloka
Mike Maloy                                Kauhi Hookano               Wes Nurse






Game Two:
There are three columns below.  The first contains the name of a Boise State quarterback, the second column contains the name of a Boise State running back and the third column contains a Boise State receiver.  The object is to match the quarterback, the running back and the receiver that played in the same starting lineup.  There may be more than one match, so to get the correct answer, use a process of elimination so that in the end, you have five matches consisting of a quarterback, the QB coach who coached him and the head coach in the year he started.
