The referee who was reportedly suspended for a blown call in the Notre Dame-California game worked another game after all, according to a report.
ESPN’s Roxy Bernstein reported that Matthew Fitzgerald was part of the ACC crew that worked Notre Dame’s Week 4 matchup with North Carolina.
In the Notre Dame-California game, Fitzgerald worked as a side judge and made an incorrect offside call that went against Cal on a Notre Dame field goal attempt. The call allowed Notre Dame to continue its drive a
