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 team’s offensive struggles: Just keep working hard. That’s all we can do.

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.
