Carter Stadium.Waymon James scored on an 82-yard kick return and a 65-yard run for the Horned Frogs (3-1), who have won three in a row since losing to Baylor by two points in their season-opener.
James finished with 136 rushing yards and TCU totaled 462 offensive yards in the win, which came convincingly against the Vikings (2-1), a Football Championship Subdivision member.
Running back Shaquille Richard finished with 90 yards and a touchdown for Portland State, which led after the first quarter.
Zach Brown kicked a 22-yard field goal to end the game's opening drive, and TCU punted on its only complete possession of the period. But the Horned Frogs got on the board when Ross Evans kicked a 35-yarder on the first play of the second quarter, and rolled from there, scoring 41 consecutive points.
Pachall was intercepted on TCU's next possession, but rebounded to connect with Josh Boyce on a 66-yard score with 1:55 left in the half.
The Horned Frogs squeezed in two more touchdowns before the break thanks to two big plays.
Tank Carder intercepted Drew Hubel on the opening play of Portland State's next touch, and returned it 26 yards for a score.
With 1:40 left on the clock, TCU forced the Vikings into a three-and-out and a punt from their own 10-yard line. Thomas Duyndam kicked the ball 43 yards, and Skye Dawson brought the ball right back down to the 11.
Dawson then caught Pachall's 10-yard TD pass on 3rd-and-9, making it a 24-3 game at halftime.
James opened the third quarter with his 65-yard score and TCU continued to roll. Evans kicked a 24-yarder on the Frogs' next possession, and Pachall found Dawson for a 73-yard score with a little more than four minutes left.
Brown's 42-yard kick early in the fourth cut TCU's string of consecutive points, but James' return on the ensuing kickoff pushed the lead to 48-6.
