What is this grass growing in my Bermuda and how can I kill it. Is it crab grass?

Is it clumpy like all of the little vines grow into one clump of roots you can pull out by hand? If so I hate that shiz. You should be able to pull up the roots as they don't go very deep. Not sure how to prevent it other than calling Bigwater's buddy who sprays yards. He knocked out everything in our yard in one spray and we haven't had any weeds come back since. That was three months ago.

hard to tell on my phone....maybe dallas grass, but hit it with MSMA.
there was talk of removing from the market, but seems like it was extended.

some kind of broad leaf weed. got to get on it early and kill it. hard to just pull it up because it just breaks and leaves the roots. got to dig it up if established.

If it doesn't have any purple tint where the leaf meets the stem it is torpedo. If it has purple tint then you can follow suggestion above as it is crab grass. If it is torpedo you will need to do two applications of Drive. You can spot spray and don't have to do blanket treatment.
