Pittsburgh’s worst-case scenario confirmed for quarterback Mason Heintschel

Pittsburgh secured a dramatic 35-33 triumph against Virginia Tech on Friday evening after an opponent field goal attempt missed wide left in the closing seconds. Despite the victory pushing their record to five wins and zero losses, the team received devastating medical news regarding starting quarterback Mason Heintschel.

Subsequent medical imaging revealed that Heintschel suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament during the second half of the contest, ending his campaign prematurely. Backup signal-caller Holden Geriner stepped in to finish the game and is expected to take over starting duties moving forward as the squad prepares for an upcoming home matchup against North Carolina.
