Pitt to Start True Freshman Mason Heintschel at QB Against Boston College
Freshman Mason Heintschel completed 30 of 41 passes for 323 yards and four touchdowns in his first start, leading Pitt to a dominating 48-7 ACC win.
- On Saturday, Mason Heintschel, an 18-year-old true freshman quarterback, made his first career start replacing Eli Holstein and led Pittsburgh Panthers to a 48-7 win over Boston College at Acrisure Stadium.
- Pitt coach Phil Narduzzi benched Eli Holstein last week after two interceptions, prompting a quarterback change amid consecutive losses.
- He completed 30-of-41 passes and threw four touchdowns, finishing with a passer rating of 171.5 as Pitt totaled 503 yards of total offense.
- Heintschel's performance likely settles the quarterback competition as he is expected to hold the starting job after outplaying rivals and snapping Pitt Panthers’ seven-game Power Four losing streak.
- Boston College entered the game ranked among top passing offenses but managed only seven points and 27 rushing yards, while Heintschel faces a tougher Tallahassee trip next week as the first true freshman starter since Kenny Pickett in 2017.
