Defensive turnover rates in the ACC, or, where are NC State's daggone takeaways?

Out of some morbid curiousity, perhaps, I've been digging into NC State's production on the defensive side--specifically, the Wolfpack's production when it comes to being disruptive and/or forcing turnovers. Now, by most raw statistics, State looks dreadful--tied for 119th in turnovers forced (5), tied for 105th in interceptions (3), tied for 109th in fumbles recovered (2).

But this is not a complete picture by any means, especially since some adjustments are necessary. Teams have played different amounts of games, and they've played vastly differing numbers of snaps. No FBS defense has played fewer snaps than NC State's.
