3,000-yard passer (check), 1,000-yard rusher (check), Shoemaker needs 41 yards

Tyler Shoemaker of Boise State needs 41 receiving yards against Arizona State for the 2011 Broncos to join elite company and become the fifth team in school history to produce a 3,000-yard passer, a 1,000-yard rusher and a 1,000-yard receiver.


Shoemaker has 959 yards this season, most on the Boise State team.  Kellen Moore has 3,507 passing yards this season and Doug Martin has 1,148 rushing yards so the first two requirements have been met.  


Also, the odds are against it, but if Moore is able to pass for 493 yards in the bowl game, it would be just the second time in school history that a team included a 4,000-yard passer, a 1,000-yard rusher and a 1,000-yard receiver.  Ryan Dinwiddie (4,356 passing yards), David Mikell (1,142 rushing yards) and Tim Gilligan (1,192 receiving yards) are the only trio in Boise State history to ever accomplish the feat.
