From what I read the weather wasn't conducive to throwing the ball, but a player with Smith's ability could easily turn a short pass into a long touchdown. Just having him on the field would have required him receiving special attention that could have helped open up the running lanes for Ray and Winston.

Just a guess but for Smith and Burrell, they probably know they have a good chance of getting playing time. I think Ray and Deyo redshirt, so if they got injured there really wasn't much concern. Maybe Winston redshirts as well but not sure on that.
With Smith and Burrell getting a good shot at playing time, they probably didn't want to risk it and play.
As for Perry he is trying hard to get qualified.
