Original Title: [Thamel] Sources: Pitt is making a change at starting quarterback today against Boston College, with 18-year-old freshman Mason Heintschel getting his first career start in place of incumbent starter Eli Holstein.

The move comes amid an underwhelming start for Holstein, as Pitt has lost consecutive games and Holstein got pulled from the game against Louisville last week after a pair of interceptions. He’s under 60-percent passing in Pitt’s two losses.
