26. Pitt Beats Virginia Tech But Loses Mason Heintschel | Where Do the Panthers go From Here?

Today's episode is JAM PACKED, so let's get right to it. Pitt beat Virginia Tech on Friday night, but the bigger storyline is that Mason Heintschel is out for the season with a torn ACL. Despite losing their starting quarterback, the Panthers still put up a valiant effort in Blacksburg to come out with a win. And there are tons of hot topics to debate from the game. Was Virginia Tech's final field goal attempt actually wide, or did it go through? Did Cam Lindsey intercept that ball, or should it have gone to the receiver? Should Pitt have blitzed on fourth-and-5, and run the ball more down the stretch? I'm diving into all of that, and a bunch more. And at the end of the episode, we break down where Pitt goes from here with Holden Geriner taking over the starting QB job.
