Report: Zach Smith claims Urban Meyer didn’t know about his 2013 OVI arrest

On Monday, it surfaced that recently fired Ohio State assistant Zach Smith had been arrested back in 2013 for operating a vehicle while intoxicated.
That prompted even more questions about what coach Urban Meyer knew and when, and it certainly wasn’t a good look for the Buckeyes.
However, on Monday afternoon, Smith’s attorney said that Meyer knew nothing about the 2013 OVI arrest:
Former Ohio State coach Zach Smith, through his attorney, says Urban Meyer didn't know about his OVI arrest in 2013. Story coming soon.

It seems implausible that Meyer wouldn’t know what was going on with his staff, but it is possible.
What this means for Ohio State’s investigation is unclear at this point, as it’s impossible to tell how many more twists and turns this case will take.
