Tech runs the ball greater than 4 times as they pass (600 runs vs 140 pass attempts). They complete just 47% of passes
However, Tech averages 8.1 yards per pass ATTEMPT, which is #21 in the nation. LSU is #71 at 6.7 ypa. So, while we rarely pass, and complete rarely, our average is very high. We throw deep, when we hit, we hit big.
Edit: 14 of 140 attempts have gone for a 25+ yard gain. By comparison 22 of 364 LSU pass attempts have gone for a 25+ yard gain.

I believe they take full advantage when a team overloads the box, and leaves the too much open. Discipline will be the key. I think we can stop the triple option with help from our linebackers, without exposing too much on the pass.
