Early practice reports suggest that Texas Longhorns football is spending a lot of time in 12 personnel (2 TEs, 1 RB, 2 WRs). I made the argument in the Thinking Texas Football 2022 Preview and here on Inside Texas that this offense has the potential to be the most formation diverse Longhorn O in decades. That written, Texas still wants to nail down a base offense that they can attach and detach parts on to exploit match-ups and opponent schemes. 12 is a pretty good base to start from.
