The Zach Smith situation has taken a turn for the much worse. On this episode of Current Sports with Al Martin, Al breaks down recent news that has come out of Columbus, Ohio that includes more character issues during Smith's time with the Ohio State football team. Al also talks about the preseason woes of the Detroit Lions and what variables have contributed to the two-game exhibition losing streak. Then, Terry Hessbrook, head coach of the Ithaca Yellowjackets football team, joins the show to discuss the upcoming season for the Yellowjackets and the BIG season-opener at Alma College against Pewamo-Westphalia! It quite possibly may be the biggest season-opener in mid-Michigan football history!
