Heintschel ties Pitt record with seven TDs in Miami (Ohio) rout

Pitt opened 2026 with a 59-14 win over Miami (Ohio), led by Mason Heintschel's 453-yard, seven-touchdown, zero-interception performance. The ACC-record output and touchdowns to seven receivers validate preseason optimism about Heintschel and the offense, but UCF will provide a more meaningful test of protection, defensive communication and overall sustainability.
