Casey Pachall highlighted a record-setting game with a 42-yard touchdown pass to Skye Dawson with 4:26 left to lift the TCU Horned Frogs to a 31-24 victory over the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs at the Poinsettia Bowl in San Diego, California.

It was the eighth straight victory for Mountain West Conference champion TCU (11-2), who will move to the Big 12 next year. It was the third time this season TCU overcame a fourth-quarter deficit to win, including a 36-35 victory at Boise State on Nov. 12, the Broncos’ only loss.

Pachall was 15 of 29 for 206 yards. He set school single-season records with 228 completions, 2,921 yards and a completion percentage of 66.5, breaking marks previously held by Andy Dalton.
