What can West Virginia learn about tight ends from Penn State and Oklahoma?

The discussion about if and how we're going to use tight ends in the passing game has become something of a yearly ritual for Mountaineer fans. It's something that we've been collectively pining for ever since the idea of a pass-catching tight end first began fading into obscurity with the rise of our Power Spread. This isn't to say we haven't been using tight ends, mind you, just that we haven't been using them as, ya know, tight ends. Guys like Sammy Morrone, Tyler Urban, and Cody Clay developed cult followings as they dutifully slogged their way through year after year in the trenches, but for the most part they didn't provide much more of a threat through the air than the tackles they lined up next to.
