While the fullback position is dying in a lot of offensive schemes, it is very much alive and well under Lincoln Riley at Oklahoma.
Thanks to his ability to put pressure on defenses and get the most out of each of his players’ skill sets, Riley has figured out a way to turn the a position many considered to be antiquated into one of the most feared in college football.
Two years ago Dimitri Flowers caught 26 passes for 464 yards and five touchdowns. Last year Carson Meier went from special teams role player to a major part of the Oklahoma offense with 19 catches for 327 yards and four scores.
