The Texas 10 personnel package produced two TDs vs. Oklahoma
Touchdown catches by Ryan Wingo and Jermaine Bishop highlight the value of spreading the field.
On October 10, 2026, the Texas Longhorns secured a victory against the Oklahoma Sooners by utilizing a unique 10 personnel group in four plays. This marked the first time since Steve Sarkisian's time as an offensive coordinator at Alabama in 2019 that the Texas coach had incorporated this formation into his play calling. The two touchdowns yielded by the 10 personnel package were scored by junior wide receiver Ryan Wingo and senior quarterback Arch Manning.
Wingo displayed exceptional skill in the first touchdown, which occurred early in the second quarter. The Texas formation forced the Oklahoma field safety to align on the hashmarks, while the deep route of junior wide receiver Cam Coleman occupied the boundary safety. The resulting open space in the middle of the field allowed Wingo to easily catch a 34-yard touchdown pass from Manning.
In the fourth quarter, a 10 personnel grouping enabled Texas to tie the game following Oklahoma's go-ahead touchdown. Wide receiver Jermaine Bishop Jr. made a crucial play by using his speed to evade the linebacker's pursuit, resulting in a 15-yard touchdown reception. These two touchdowns highlighted the effectiveness of the 10 personnel formation, which Sarkisian has been integrating into Texas's offensive strategy.
