I just had to ask Coach Pinkel (podcast)

Alright Missouri Tiger football fans had the same question I had watching that bowl game against Navy. Why didn’t Missouri keep running the football when Navy was lining up just two defensive linemen?

So on Wednesday at Gary Pinkel’s press conference to announce the 2010 recruits, I had a few moments with him afterward and I asked him that question that fans had. I’ll admit I was afraid to question the coaches decision making, but I asked for you.

Plus, Manuel Haley, who is a contributor here to the Missourinet asked a few questions as well, but I walked away from the few minutes I spent with Coach Pinkel getting the feeling that last year was very frustrating for him. Listen to see if you get the same sense? Thanks for listening.
