On October 9, TCU announced that Pachall would withdraw from TCU to enter an inpatient rehab facility for substance abuse treatment.[6][7]
Pachall was named TCU's starting quarterback for 2013. He started their opening game against LSU. By the close of his Horned Frog career he held impressive all-time rankings.
