Paul Myerberg of the USA Today believes TCU will give QB Casey Pachall "every opportunity to win back his starting job."
Pachall was suspended for a large part of the 2012 season and entered into a substance abuse program. Trevone Boykin, who spent time at running back prior to his promotion, showed more skill as a runner than as a passer. If Pachall does claim the starting quarterback job, expect Boykin to find another way to contribute. Mar 1 - 9:51 AM

TCU junior QB Casey Pachall has returned to school and will begin taking classes on Monday.

Pachall took the 2012 season off to participate in an out-patient substance abuse program after he was arrested on suspicion of driving while intoxicated back in October. The junior, and the TCU football program, has a history of substance abuse issues. Pachall is a very talented passer with a gunslinging mentality, we only hope he stays clean for the 2013 season.

Junior QB Casey Pachall will dis-enroll from TCU for the remainder of this semester and enter into a drug/alcohol treatment program.

That means Pachall will not play football at TCU for the rest of the 2012 season. During his press conference on Tuesday, head coach Gary Patterson stated "you gotta change kids lives," and added that the "door is open for (Pachall's) return next year." The starting junior quarterback has a history of drug and alcohol use and most recently was arrested on DWI suspicion last week.

TCU junior QB Casey Pachall told former high school teammate and current Texas senior S Kenny Vaccaro that he is "taking some time off."

Vaccaro said he talked to Pachall Sunday and the quarterback told him that he needed to "get everything together." The senior safety added, "I think Casey can get it turned around because in high school, he was a different kid." When asked how long Pachall's suspension was for, Vaccaro paused and said, "I don't know. I can't tell y'all. I'll let TCU do it." Reporters around the team expect the suspension to last the rest of the season.

TCU beat writer Mac Engel cites sources saying there is intense pressure "from the top" to keep junior starting QB Case Pachall on suspension for the remainder of the season.

"It does not sound as if Pachall is going to be back this season," Engel added. Pachall was indefinitely suspended last week after his Thursday morning arrest on suspicion of driving while intoxicated. The quarterback made news this offseason after admitting to police he had previously failed a school drug test for marijuana, and also used cocaine and ecstasy at least once in the past. With the history of off field substance abuse surrounding the TCU program, we would be surprised if Pachall is not made an example of.

TCU officials have suspended starting junior QB Casey Pachall indefinitely after his 1:00 a.m. arrest on suspicion of driving while intoxicated.

Pachall was pulled over for running a stop sign and a breathalyzer test revealed his alcohol level was over the legal limit. After not receiving punishment following his admittance of previously using drugs, Pachall will not be as lucky this time around.

TCU starting junior QB Casey Pachall was arrested Wednesday night for DWI by Fort Worth police.

As much as we like Pachall on the field for his placement and gun slinging mentality, his off the field behavior could haunt him in the future. During the offseason, Pachall admitted in an interview with local police that he had previously failed a school drug test for marijuana, and also used cocaine and ecstasy at least once in the past. No updates have been given on if the junior will play in Saturday's game against Iowa State.

TCU junior QB Casey Pachall completed 21-of-32 passes for 304 yards, including three touchdowns and one interception.

Pachall also rushed for 20 yards on six carries. The junior was sacked a handful of times, but showed well to get the ball out of his hand under pressure or just before taking a hit. His placement is solid, but Pachall is likely to remain in college rather than enter the 2013 Draft.

TCU junior QB Casey Pachall admitted in an interview with local police that he had previously failed a school drug test for marijuana, and also used cocaine and ecstasy at least once in the past.

This information became available through open records requests and the interviews took place during a TCU drug-sweep by police where four players were arrested. Pachall was the roommate of one of the players charged, junior linebacker Tanner Brock. The drug test was issued by the school, and the reported number of student athletes that failed ranges from 82 to five. Pachall admitted to smoking marijuana a day or two prior to that drug test, cocaine possibly a year prior, and ecstasy seven months prior. The junior quarterback just appeared with head coach Gary Patterson at Big 12 media days, so his spot on the team looks secure at this time.

Casey Pachall - QB - Horned Frogs

CBS Sports' Rob Rang says scouts like TCU junior QB Casey Pachall's "gun-slinger mentality".

Along with this aggressive style, Rang notes Pachall possesses the size and arm to make the transition from TCU's quick-hitting scheme to more complicated NFL concepts. Many questioned if Pachall's predecessor, Andy Dalton, had that same ability, so it seems as if the current TCU quarterback could have a leg up in the evaluation process. Rang notes that the two are very different prospects, and we agree, especially after seeing Pachall bypass checkdowns and stretch the field vertically. His approach may not be pretty, but Pachall is very efficient and should show even more improvement this season.

Casey Pachall threw for 206 yards and 1 TD in a 31-24 Poinsettia Bowl victory over Louisiana Tech.

Pachall, who completed 15-of-29 (51.7) and also threw an interception, was the nation’s seventh-rated passer coming in. His completion percentage marked a season low and only the second time in 13 games he completed less than 63 percent of his passes. But it was his 42-yard TD hookup with Skye Dawson with 4:26 to play that was the difference in this bowl win. Pachall also ran for 31 yards. The sophomore finished his first season as a starter throwing for 2,921 yards and 25 TDs.

Casey Pachall - QB - Horned Frogs

The Horned Frogs’ starting quarterback had an MRI scheduled for Wednesday after missing two practices.

TCU coach Gary Patterson has only one quarterback on his roster with playing experience – Pachall. In the case of the sophomore, "playing experience" is limited to nine attempts while backing up Andy Dalton last season. Any lingering shoulder problems would be a major concern. Redshirt freshman Matt Brown and true freshman Trevone Boykin are next in line.
