Texas Dismisses Starting LB Ahead of Ohio State Showdown

Texas dismissed starting linebacker Ty'Anthony Smith just weeks before its Week 2 game with Ohio State, leaving a thinner defense as OL Trevor Goosby deals with a knee injury. Smith had 59 tackles, 2 sacks, 2 forced fumbles and 2 interceptions last season, and his sparse recent practice makes the move unsurprising; without him, Texas faces a tougher test against an Ohio State offense that has moved the ball against the Longhorns in recent matchups, aided by a defense that ranked 97th in passing yards allowed last season (234.9 ypg).
