As expected, Rod Smith has officially been removed from Ohio State's depth chart after being dismissed Monday.

With his ousting, Ezekiel Elliott, who has long received a majority of the carries at running back anyway, is officially as the team's starter. He's followed by freshman Curtis Samuel and redshirt sophomore Warren Ball. 

Outside of that, the team's depth chart remained the same as it did last week
