4Pachall’s four career 300-yard games rank second all-time at TCU behind only Andy Dalton (5, 2007-10).
4Pachall is tied with Dalton (2007, 2008), Printers (2001), Matt Vogler (1990) and Steve Stamp (1981) for the most 300-yard games in a season with two.
PACHALL ON TARGeT4Beginning with his final two passes in the 2011 Poinsettia Bowl and extending through his first five attempts at Kansas, Casey Pachall set a TCU record with 16 consecutive completions over a three-game stretch.
4Pachall broke the previous Frog mark of 14 by Jeff Ballard (2006).
4Pachall was the last starting quarterback in the nation to have an incomplete pass attempt in 2012. His first incompletion, on his 15th pass, came in the second quarter at Kansas (Sept. 15) during the season’s third week. TCU had an open date the opening week of the season.
4Pachall set TCU single-season records in 2011 for completion percentage (66.5), passing yards (2,921) and completions (228).

4The Horned Frogs also set an NCAA record that night for completion percentage (100.0) with a minimum of 15 team attempts.
4Pachall was 9-of-9 for 201 yards and three touchdowns in first-half action, while Trevone Boykin went 8-of-8 for 75 yards and a score.

HISTORY MAde4In just his third collegiate start, Trevone Boykin became the only quarterback in TCU history with four touchdown passes in back-to-back games with his performances versus Baylor and Texas Tech.
4Boykin also threw for a career-high 332 yards against the Red Raiders.
4The four touchdown passes versus Baylor and Texas Tech tied for fifth most in a game at TCU. During the Gary Patterson era, Boykin’s four scoring tosses trailed only Casey Pachall’s five against Boise State in 2011 and Jeff Ballard’s five versus San Diego State in 2006.
CLUTCH PLAY4Trevone Boykin showed a penchant for coming through in the clutch last season.
4The Horned Frogs trailed West Virginia by 10 points in the second half. After pulling TCU even, Boykin had to rally his team again with a 94-yard touchdown pass to Josh Boyce with 1:28 remaining to force overtime.
4With TCU down 36-26 and just 4:01 to play against Texas Tech, Boykin completed 7-of-9 passes for 122 yards, including a 60-yard touchdown to LaDarius Brown on a third-and-20, in leading the Horned Frogs on a pair of scoring drives to force overtime.

A TCU TRAdITION4Since the NCAA began tracking statistics in 1937, TCU only trails Alabama for the most times leading the nation in total defense. The Crimson Tide have been No. 1 six times, while all five No. 1 rankings for the Frogs are in the last 12 seasons.
4In 2010, TCU became just the third program in NCAA history to top the nation in total defense in three consecutive seasons (2008-10). The others are Toledo (1969-71) and Oklahoma (1985-87).
STRONG d4TCU topped the Big 12 while ranking in the top-16 nationally in six major defensive categories:
4TCU’s top-ranked defense in the Big 12 was 43.4 yards ahead of runner-up Texas Tech (367.3).
4The Horned Frogs’ No. 16 national ranking in total defense came despite facing five of the nation’s top-13 offenses in Baylor (2), Oklahoma State (4), West Virginia (10), Oklahoma (12) and Texas Tech (13).
SHUTTING THeM dOWN4Six of TCU’s opponents in 2012 had a season low in scoring against the Horned Frogs: Grambling State (0), Kansas (6), Virginia (7), Baylor (21), Kansas State (23) and Texas (13).
4Since 2010, TCU is tied for second nationally for most games holding an opponent to less than 10 points:
No. Team Games 1. Alabama 18 2. TCU 12 Florida State 12 4. LSU 11 5. Michigan State 10
4TCU was second in the Big 12 in scoring defense at 22.6 points per game, trailing only Kansas State (22.1). The Horned Frogs would be No. 1 at 20.5 if not counting the 27 points scored by opponents in overtime games.
4TCU’s 21 interceptions were its most in a season since a nation’s-best 26 in 2005. The Horned Frogs had just 10 interceptions in 2011 and 12 in their 2010 Rose Bowl campaign.
YOUNG FACeS4Even with eight starters returning, TCU has just has three seniors (Jon Koontz, Elisha Olabode, Jason Verrett) in first-team positions on its depth chart.
4Eight of 11 defensive starters in 2012 had 14 or fewer career starts.
4Linebacker Kenny Cain was the lone senior on the depth chart for the TCU defense last season.
GeTTING OFF THe FIeLd4TCU’s defense ranked second in the nation in three-and-outs per game last season:
4Included below are TCU’s three-and-outs from each game in 2012:

HOLdING THeM dOWN4TCU’s defense forced several opponents into uncharacteristic performances in 2012:
4Grambling State - Had season-low totals in offense (70 yards) and passing (26 yards).
4Kansas – TCU was the only team to hold KU to under 150 yards rushing (77) in a game.
4Virginia – The 189 passing yards marked UVA’s second-lowest total of the season.
4SMU – Had a season low in rushing yards (30) against TCU ... six of 21 turnovers in 2012 came against the Horned Frogs.
4Baylor – Held to a season-low in rushing offense (106) and the second-lowest total offense (432; lowest was 424 against OU) of the season ... threw a season-high four interceptions and allowed a season-high four sacks.

4Kansas State – Held K-State to a season-low 260 yards ... three sacks were most allowed by K-State.
4Texas – Produced its second-lowest outputs for rushing (86), passing (214) and total offense (300) ... only team to not allow a TD pass against UT ... four of Texas’ 15 turnovers came against TCU.

4The Frogs allowed just 323.9 yards per game compared to 347.4 in 2011.
TAKING AdVANTAGe4TCU’s 121 points off its 32 takeaways ranked fourth nationally for teams in BCS automatic-qualifying conferences.

4Verrett tied for second nationally at 1.69 passes defended per game.
4Verrett tied for sixth in the nation in interceptions at 0.46 per game. His six picks were the most by a Frog since Jason Goss had eight in 2002.
4Verrett’s team-high 16 pass breakups were the most by a Horned Frog since Goss had 24 in 2002.
4Verrett’s seven career interceptions are tied for 11th nationally among active players.
FReSHMAN SeNSATION4As a true freshman in 2012, defensive end Devonte Fields was the Associated Press Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year and the consensus National Defensive Freshman of the Year.
4Fields topped the Big 12 in tackles for loss (18 1/2) and was third in sacks (10). He led all freshmen nationally in both categories.
4Since the NCAA began tracking defensive stats in 2000, Fields was just the third freshman, and first since Missouri’s Aldon Smith in 2009, with at least 10 sacks and 18 1/2 TFL.
4For true freshmen in the NCAA since 2000, Fields’ average of 0.7 sacks per game last season trailed only the 0.9 by Arizona State’s Terrell Suggs in 2000.
4Fields’ nine sacks broke the TCU freshman record
of seven by eventual NFL All-Pro Aaron Schobel in 1997.
4Fields took part in a sack in nine of 13 games.
4His 53 tackles topped the defensive front and were seventh on TCU.
4Fields’ first career interception came off Collin Klein on the opening series of the Kansas State game.
