No, it will not choke out torpedo grass. Nothing will choke it out.
Your three choices are to use an herbicide, hand pull it or replace your grass with artificial turf. That's it!

Be concerned regarding using RoundUp or any herbicide. The active ingredient in many is glycophoshate (Glyphosate) which is known or said to be a carcinogen. It depends which article you read and believe. There have been commercials by attorneys on television, so you should be aware of the possible dangers in using it.

Torpedo grass is the grass that keeps on giving!
You will burn calories when you do weeding, however, so there is a plus!
