Strong also announced Wednesday that quarterback David Ash is giving up football after dealing with concussions last season and sustaining another one during the Longhorns' season opener.

I'm having lisfranc surgery. All I can do is smile and keep my head up. Get my degree in the spring and bring one more year to the 40 acres.
