By now, you've read about Wisconsin's receiver situation and how the Badgers haven't had a second option step up since Jared Abbrederis did so. The hiring of Paul Chryst, however, does hold potential for mitigating potential problems in the passing game -- even if the Rob Wheelwright hype train gets derailed.
One aspect that was key to the offense the Badgers employed while Chryst ran things as an offensive coordinator from 2006 to 2011 was a reliance on tight ends as consistent target sin the passing game. In those six seasons, tight ends led the team in receptions four times (2006, 2007, 2008 and 2010) and Garrett Graham was three catches off the lead in 2009.
