San Jose State ready to accept bowl bid if invited

SAN JOSE -- Coach Ron Caragher said San Jose State would accept a bowl bid on the day that path got slightly easier with Missouri announcing Monday it won't play in the postseason with a losing record.

The Spartans, who finished the regular season 5-7 after getting drubbed by Boise State 40-23 last week, are among a handful of schools with losing records still in contention because only 75 schools have the minimum six victories to fill 80 berths."If that did that happen we would kick it into high gear and take advantage of that opportunity," Caragher said Monday.
