Steve Addazio talks about the great Homecoming crowd and the continued support of the students, which I thought was both classy and appropriate.

| Steve Addazio came up big on game day once again. |
"We should have five shutouts," the man said.
I'll call him Edgar, because that's his name.
Think about it for a second or two and you'll come to agree.
Villanova scored a bogus touchdown only because the officials kept flags in their pockets after an obvious intentional grounding.
Maryland scored a late meaningless touchdown against Temple's third-string defense.
If that's not enough evidence supporting my claim that Chuck Heater is far and away the best defensive coordinator in the country, I don't know what is.
Two things stood out for me today.
One, after Bernard Pierce had a touchdown called back on a totally made up block in the back call, Steve Addazio called a timeout just to berate the two officials and tell them just why the block was legal.
I liked that.
I liked that a lot.
Two, Addazio had the gonads to call the short snap call on fourth-and-two that resulted in Ahkeem Smith's touchdown run.
Great call, great execution.
I wondered if Al Golden would have done either thing.
I don't think he ever did.
Off to an alumni function and more tomorrow.
