What Gary Pinkel said after Missouri lost at Georgia

Here’s what Missouri coach Gary Pinkel had to say after the Tigers lost 9-6 to Georgia in Athens:

Opening remarks: Well, it’s tough. We played a real good football team. Our defense played tremendous. Offensively, we’re still having our struggles as a team and I’m just real disappointed for our players because we played, in a lot of respect, good enough to win. We didn’t get it done.

On the defense: They did a lot of good things. They’re an experienced group of guys and they’re playing really well. We’ve got work to do.

On Missouri quarterback Drew Lock, who only completed two passes in the second half:
