Does smut grass have a name others might be familiar with?

It is named sporobolus indicus

Not sure this is the answer you are looking for: Smutgrass (Sporobolus indicus) has been controlled with wick applications of 33% glyphosate without injury to bermudagrass turf. Glufosinate, fenoxaprop, fluazifop or sethoxydim was effective sprayed over the grass but injury was severe on bermudagrass.
