Has Gary Pinkel addressed this?

He did it all year and it worked.

What kind of fricked up formation was that and why did he think that would work?

Did you really want him to adjust the D in such a way to give them a chance at victory? He gave AU the game with that garbage. I would have been furious had I given a shite about Mizzou.

It's supposed to clog up the middle and push everything outside, the three man front also gives more flexibility for reads on the option as well.

The D just got beat along the outside and wasn't able to tackle, the front wasn't what caused the D to get gashed, the inability to execute outside was the real killer.

If Danielson doesn't say anything it's not the talking point it has been since the game. The D just got gashed, we should have put a few more in the box late in the game, but it is what it is.

obviously drunk

Same reason A&M did it. Lack of D-Line depth.
