New Pitt QB Christian Veilleux brings his own style to the lineup

PITTSBURGH — You may have heard a few different ways to pronounce Christian Veilleux’s last name at this point, but the new starting quarterback wants it pronounced a certain way.

“The way I want it pronounced is Christian Vay-air,” he said Wednesday at a weekly media session — his first as the Pitt starting quarterback.

His last name will be said a lot Saturday night as the Panthers host No. 14 Louisville, coming off the bye week in the hopes of quelling a four-game losing skid and figuring out whether Veilleux is capable of being the quarterback of the future in Pittsburgh.
