UM reaches new low under Mark Richt. And here’s what must happen now

Just when you thought year three of the Mark Richt era couldn’t get any worse, UM loses at home to Duke for the first time since 1976, mustering just 12 points against an opponent that was scorched for 54 points by Pittsburgh last week.

So make it three UM losses in a row overall, and seven losses in the last nine games against Power 5 conference teams, and just five touchdowns in the past three weeks, which is unspeakably awful in this era of video game scoring in college football.

What’s more, UM hasn’t topped 14 points in three consecutive games for the first time since the final three games of the 2007 season.
