Sarah Thomas made history at the Pizza Bowl on Saturday, becoming the first woman to officiate a bowl game when she worked the matchup between Ohio and Marshall as the line judge. Thomas is one of five women officiating in major college football, but Pizza Bowl spokesman Tim Moore said she was the first to draw an assignment for a Bowl Subdivision postseason game. “I noticed her before the game, but that was it,” Marshall running back Martin Ward said about Thomas, who is on the NFL’s list of officiating prospects. “Once the game started, it didn’t matter that she was a woman at all.” The Associated Press/AP photo
