Ohio State Athletic Director Gene Smith “Pissed” at Overreach From the Replay Booth

The replay booth was not kind to the Buckeyes on Saturday night, and Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith was far from pleased.

Two game-changing calls went against the Buckeyes after a replay review on Saturday night, one resulting in a player ejection and the other in an Ohio State touchdown being taken off the board.

After the game, Smith was quick to share his thoughts on the situation with a couple reporters.

If you watch any of the games that I call you know that I feel CFB replay is broken and the lack of consistency is troubling at best

Just spoke with @OhioStateFB Athletics Director Gene Smith and he is livid with what he feels like was clear overreach from replay tonight — Joel Klatt (@joelklatt) December 29, 2019

The call that seemed to draw Smith's ire the most was the overturned fumble late in the third quarter.
