Complementary pieces are critical for Oklahoma Sooners' offense

NORMAN, Okla. -- Dimitri Flowers’ season numbers look like a good game for Oklahoma teammate Sterling Shepard.

The sophomore fullback/tight end had eight receptions for 130 yards and four touchdowns during the regular season. Yet, Flowers was a critical piece during Oklahoma’s run to a Big 12 championship and College Football Playoff berth. His blocking, his versatility and his big plays changed games, even though they often went unnoticed.

“He’s made an impact in a big way, his improvement has been crucial for us,” center Ty Darlington said.
