Josh Gattis takes responsibility for fourth down play calls, says Michigan must execute better

Josh Gattis and the Michigan offense have had a rough go of it at times through the first two games of the 2019 season, especially as they tried to close out Saturday’s win over Army in regulation, but were unable to do so.

Heading into the bye week, the offensive coordinator spoke to the media about the state of his side of the ball and his summation of what he has seen early on in the year. One particular plot thread of note is the fourth down playcalling, namely on a key moment late in the game where the Wolverines passed on a 36-yard field goal in favor of going for a 4th-and-3 that yield no results and gave Army the football back.
