Pitt QB Mason Heintschel's Season Is over After Tearing the ACL in His Right Knee
Backup Holden Geriner led an immediate touchdown after Heintschel exited, and Pitt later ruled the quarterback out with a knee injury, ESPN said.
- On Friday, Pitt quarterback Mason Heintschel suffered a torn ACL during the third quarter at Lane Stadium in Blacksburg, Virginia, forcing him to miss the remainder of the season.
- The sophomore had emerged as one of college football's elite quarterbacks, completing 67.7% of his passes for 1,191 yards and 13 touchdowns with just one interception entering Friday's matchup.
- Two Virginia Tech defenders tackled Heintschel short of the first-down marker with 13 minutes remaining in the third quarter as he scrambled toward the right sideline on third down.
- Backup quarterback Holden Geriner replaced Heintschel and led the Panthers to a 35-33 victory, with the fifth-year transfer from Texas State completing the comeback after Heintschel tallied 113 passing yards.
- The undefeated Panthers now face North Carolina on October 10 with Geriner as starter, testing whether the team can maintain its championship aspirations without Heintschel.
