Josh Gattis' familiarity with Alabama presents pros and cons for Michigan

As Michigan prepares for its Citrus Bowl matchup against Alabama, offensive coordinator Josh Gattis is in a unique position.

Gattis, who is completing his first year as the Wolverines’ offensive coordinator, spent the 2018 season with coach Nick Saban and Alabama as co-offensive coordinator working with the Tide’s phenomenally talented receivers.

There’s no doubt the Michigan staff has tapped into Gattis’ inside knowledge of Alabama since the bowl game was announced. During an appearance Monday night on the “Inside Michigan Football” radio show with host Jon Jansen, Gattis was asked if there’s an advantage he gives Michigan heading into the game.
