We must use the tight end more in SEC play to win

I don't think it's exaggerating to say that we are not as deep at wide receiver this year. Before the season started. Coach Pinkel said they would utilize the tight end a lot more in the passing game along with passes to the running back (Murphy).
Murphy has caught some passes out of the backfield, but to date there have not been very many receptions from the attached tight end position (I don't count Culkin as a tight end when he lines up in the slot or out wide).
What do we have to do to get more receptions out of the position and what are the obstacles to getting it done, especially in SEC play?

I think we will need to see more consistency from Culkin and Mauk to see a big increase. Culkin makes some nice catches and then drops some. Mauk has not been the most accurate in throwing to the TE. I'm not sure if that is Mauk, bad route running, or a combination though. If Steward comes back from injury, I think you will see Murphy line up more outside.
FYI, if you want to get responses, you have to make something up in your OP. Try editing to this "It is obvious we have not attempted any passes to a TE yet this year. When do you think we will fire some coaches and hire somebody that will run 3 TE formations so we can win a natty?"

It's funny because it's true.
