MOBILE, Ala. — Former TCU receiver Jack Bech caught the winning touchdown pass and was named MVP of the Senior Bowl on Saturday, a month after his older brother was among 14 killed in the deadly pickup truck attack in New Orleans. Bech caught a 2-yard touchdown pass from Memphis quarterback Seth Henigan to give the American Team a 22-19 win over the National Team. Martin "Tiger" Bech was among those killed when the driver of a pickup sped down Bourbon Street when it was packed with holiday revelers early on New Year's Day. The older Bech played at Princeton, and his brother wore his No. 7 in his honor at the Senior Bowl.
