About James Street (American football)
James Lowell Street (August 2, 1948 – September 30, 2013) was a two-sport star athlete at the University of Texas. As quarterback, he led the team to the 1969 National Championship in football and posted a perfect 20–0 record, the most wins without a loss in Longhorns history. As a pitcher he was a two time All-American who threw the only perfect game in Texas Longhorns history. == Early life == James Street was born in 1948 in Longview, Texas, the son of Helen Frederick (Eaton) and Grover Wilson Street, Sr. He had a hardscrabble childhood that became more difficult at 12 when his parents divorced and his father moved back to Oklahoma. James worked odd jobs in junior high and high school to help feed him and his twin sister. At Longview High School he lettered in football, baseball, basketball and track, but was not heavily recruited. His brother Sewell Street played two years of minor league baseball in the Cardinals organization in Wytheville and Keokuk. == Football career == Street arrived at Texas as a seventh-string quarterback in 1966. After playing only a handful of plays in two blowout games in 1967, Street came into the 1968 season as the backup to Bill Bradley.
