Think I got 100% but may have Arizona/Az State mixed up with Bruschi and Russell.
Did not cheat, all from memory.
 
Re: BRAIN CHALLENGE - How good of a Patriots expert are you? - Match Players with Col

I got every single one except Russ Francis. From memory.

Meaning: I didn't even consult the list of colleges below to match the names with. If I had, I would have matched Russ with Oregon.

I just did it all from memory. Somehow I even knew about Livingstone and NW Louisiana.

This officially proves that I pay too much attention to college football.

The picks marked with a "?" were some type of guess. Some I narrowed down to one of two choices (Bruschi, Veris), others I took an educated guess (I remember Francis being from the west coast so I went with a pac-10 school), and others I used a process of elimination (I doubt Tony Collins was accepted in to Stanford.)

Re: BRAIN CHALLENGE - How good of a Patriots expert are you? - Match Players with Col

ANDY JOHNSON and JACKSON 2 if they did not look up the answers are both one heck of trivial Patriotholics experts because they have answered each player and college correctly for 100% perfection - Great job guys!!

To summarize ...

NICK KACZUR - TOLEDO
JAMES SANDERS - FRESNO STATE
DAN KOPPEN - BOSTON COLLEGE
SAM CUNNINGHAM - USC
JOHN HANNAH - ALABAMA
RUSS FRANCIS - OREGON
STANLEY MORGAN - TENNESSEE
TONY COLLINS - EAST CAROLINA
TONY EASON - ILLINOIS
IRVING FRYAR - NEBRASKA
GARIN VERIS - STANFORD
BRUCE ARMSTRONG - LOUISVILLE
JOHN STEPHENS - NW LOUISIANA
SCOTT ZOLAK - MARYLAND
ANDRE TIPPETT - IOWA
STEPHEN GOSTKOWSKI - MEMPHIS
BEN WATSON - GEORGIA
DAVID GIVENS - NOTRE DAME
MATT LIGHT - PURDUE
LAWYER MILLOY - WASHINGTON
TED JOHNSON - COLORADO
DREW BLEDSOE - WASHINGTON ST.
TEDY BRUSCHI - ARIZONA
LEONARD RUSSELL - ARIZONA ST
BEN COATES - LIVINGSTONE


I did not think ANYONE would have had John Stephens or Tony Collins correct but apparently I was wrong if those answers were honest by memory
