SAN DIEGO (AP) — Still stunned at seeing their perfect season and BCS chances sail into oblivion on a missed field goal attempt, there’s nothing the No. 10 Boise State Broncos can do but try to salvage what’s left of their season.

A 36-35 loss to TCU dropped the Broncos into second place in the Mountain West Conference. Starting Saturday night at San Diego State, they’ve got three games left to try to grab the best bowl berth they can.

Wide receiver Tyler Shoemaker says the loss is still a shock but thinks the Broncos (8-1, 3-1) will bounce back, just like they did from last year’s late-season loss at Nevada.

San Diego State (6-3, 3-2), which could be without star running back Ronnie Hillman due to a sprained ankle, is bowl-eligible for the second straight year.
