Did He Make It? Pittsburgh Wins On Controversial Virginia Tech Missed Field Goal

Will undergo MRI Heintschel (leg) will undergo MRI testing on Saturday, Pete Nakos of On3.com reports.

Impact Heintschel suffered a leg injury in the third quarter of Friday's win over Virginia Tech and did not return to the game. He will now undergo testing to figure out the severity of his injury and how much time he will be forced to miss. If he's forced to miss time, Holden Geriner will lead the offense and he's played well in his three brief appearances this season.

Impact Heintschel was forced to exit the game after taking a hit which resulted in a leg injury. The severity of the injury has not been disclosed but his return to the game is questionable at best.

Heintschel passes for 6 touchdowns as Pitt improves to 4-0 with 59-0 win over Bucknell

Mason Heintschel passed for 403 yards and six touchdowns as Pittsburgh rolled past Bucknell 59-0

SEPTEMBER 26 • Associated Press

Six more TD passes in rout Heintschel was 29-for-37 passing for 403 yards and six touchdowns during Saturday's 59-0 victory versus Bucknell. He also had three rushes for 33 yards.

Impact It's been feast or famine for Heintschel so far this season, as he has six or more TD passes in routs of Miami (Ohio) and Bucknell, and no TD throws against UCF or Syracuse. He and the Panthers take the trip to Blacksburg to visit Virginia Tech, and it might be a big-time regression against a Hokies team playing well under new coach James Franklin.

Doesn't do much against Syracuse Heintschel completed 10 of 23 passes for 123 yards and one interception during Thursday's 27-13 victory over Syracuse. He also had 11 rushes for 41 yards with one touchdown.

Impact Heintschel was able to find the end zone with his legs, but after tying a school record with seven passing touchdowns in the opener against Miami (Ohio), Heintschel has been shut out on passing touchdowns in each of the past two games. The Panthers face Bucknell of the FCS next time, so he could use that game to get back on track.
