The Virginia Tech offense has been good in 2016…when they hold on to the ball. But turnovers have plagued the Hokies this season, even in wins. Coming into the game against East Carolina, the goal was not only to continue scoring a lot, but to limit turnovers.
Goal, accomplished in a 54-17 rout of the East Carolina Pirates, who were kept out of the end zone until well into the 3rd quarter.
Virginia Tech came into this game with a minus-3 turnover margin, having lost 9 fumbles and one interception on the season. Those turnovers were, as much as anything, the reason the Hokies were unable to beat Tennessee two weeks ago.
