If Friday’s loss indeed punctuated his career, Pinkel finishes with an overall record of 190-110-3 in 25 seasons at Toledo and Missouri. In 15 years at MU, he was 118-73 with more wins than any other Mizzou head coach in the second-most seasons to Don Faurot (19).
Friday’s game was more of the same for a Missouri offense that finished the regular season as the program’s worst in more than a generation. The Tigers managed just 171 yards and eight first downs. It was the fourth time in freshman quarter Drew Lock’s eight starts Mizzou moved the ball less than 250 yards and failed to score a touchdown.
