NORMAN, Okla. (AP) Sterling Shepard had one of the best seasons for an Oklahoma receiver. Also, one of the most disappointing.

The speedster was among the nation's leaders with more than 900 yards in his first seven games, including a career-high 215 yards receiving against TCU and a school-record 15 receptions against Kansas State. He posted two of the top five receiving yardage games in school history in a three-game span.

Things fell apart when he pulled his groin at the end of a 46-yard catch on the first play against Iowa State.
