In Saturday’s 54-17 loss at Virginia Tech and the Sept. 17, 20-15 loss at South Carolina, ECU combined for two interceptions, two fumbles and two blocked field goals, all of which came in its own red zone. Not to mention, a punt return touchdown, a safety, a muffed punt and a blocked punt that set Virginia Tech up on its on 24-yard line in the second quarter.
All four turnovers and one blocked field goal came against South Carolina, and many thought the Pirates would come out blazing against Virginia Tech to make up for the poor performance in Columbia.
