It's important to note that Pry served as Franklin's defensive coordinator in Happy Valley from 2016-21. During that stretch, the Nittany Lions' average ranking dipped slightly to No. 52, and two of the three seasons in which a Franklin-led team lost more turnovers than it gained came under Pry's watch. Although this is likely a case of correlation and not causation, it's still an interesting sequence to point out.
The Hokies' current trajectory has them finishing the regular season with a turnover margin of -12, which would easily be the worst total in years. For a sample size, here's how each Virginia Tech team since 2016 has finished in this category:
- 2025: No. 115 (-8)
- 2024: No. No. 24 (+8)
- 2023: No. 61 (+1)
- 2022: No. 112 (-6)
- 2021: No. 64 (+1)
- 2020: No. 45 (+3)
- 2019: No. 90 (-4)
- 2018: No. 46 (+3)
- 2017: No. 30 (+5)
- 2016: No. 72 (-1)
