TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Mason Heintschel threw for 321 yards and connected with Desmond Reid on a pair of touchdown passes as Pittsburgh handed No. 25 Florida State its third straight conference loss on Saturday.

A true freshman, Heintschel completed 21 of 29 passes and had a pair of second-quarter interceptions in the 34-31 win. He has surpassed 300 passing yards in both of his starts, building off a rout of Boston College last week with a road upset of the Seminoles.

"He's a football player and he didn't lose any faith," Pittsburgh coach Pat Narduzzi said. "That's the difference. He fought back and didn't care [about the interceptions]."

Reid had eight catches for 155 yards and 10 carries for 38 yards for Pittsburgh (4-2, 2-1 Atlantic Coast Conference).

The Panthers closed as 11.5-p
