Just look at the eyes of the offensive players at the end of the game - does that look like fire, hunger, and confidence in their eyes? The only player that may have that look is Portis right now.

A 5 point lead with 4 mins to go should hold if your defense is
any good whatsoever. One of the biggest advantages you have is that FG range is eliminated from the consideration. As they get closer to the end zone, it gets tougher and tougher to score.
You just have to HAVE to stop the big play. The game was calculated PERFECTLY until that point. GW made the wrong call, the players made a bad play and we lost, just like that.
The execution just has to be better.
