This loss falls squarely on the shoulders of the defense.
Cassel played a great game, relative to what we've come to expect from him, and the offense played well enough to win.
However, when it came time to seal the win on a 3rd and 2, Cassel failed to deliver.
Weis chose to call a pass play, because running the ball in short yardage situations had failed to convert those situations consistently throughout the game.
Cassel isn't responsible for the loss.
He is, however, responsible for not sealing the win.

3rd and 2 with TJ running the ball in the 1 hole would have kept us going. Even Herm Edwards could have coached the rest of the game. That pass play was the lowest percentage play Weis could have called, with the lowest result.
