Tech has the worst run defense outside of KU (which is beyond bad), so my guess is that we'll just go by the standard modus oprandi.
Tech has a pretty high completion percentage and a low yards per attempt, so it would seem like they like to do a lot of ball control passing. They'll go out on the edge a lot with screens, and they'll check down a lot. Once they got into conference play, their yards per rush dropped considerably. 4.1 ypa vs. Kansas and 3.4 ypa vs. A&M.
My guess is that we'll probably shut down the run, zone the screens, and make Doege go over the top on the safeties. Of Doege's 166 completions, only 46 (27%) have been over 15 yards, and only 10 have been 25+ yards (7%). The reason he doesn't throw interceptions is because they don't take any chances.
We'll probably commit five guys to stopping the run and drop 5-6 into zone coverage almost all game. We'll be able to run, so we'll most likely have a considerable advantage in TOP.
My guess is that we'll wear them down in the fourth quarter and win by about ten points. Something like 34-24.
