Miami's offensive malaise deepens headed into Notre Dame

Related Topics: Mark Richt, Malaise

Miami has lost three straight, its offense in an unexpected tailspin headed into Notre Dame on Saturday.

As the playcaller and head coach, Mark Richt has fielded question after question about what exactly has gone wrong. He has put the blame on himself mostly, for failing to do a better job coaching up quarterback Brad Kaaya.

But systemic breakdowns across the offense have all contributed to the malaise. Kaaya already has been sacked 15 times in seven games -- including an unsightly eight last week against Virginia Tech. Last year, he was sacked 16 total times.
