He was undefeated as a starting quarterback and in his senior campaign led the Longhorns to the national championship, beating Arkansas in "The Big Shootout" and Notre Dame in the Cotton Bowl Classic. Street played under coach Darrell Royal. He was also a right-handed pitcher on the Longhorns baseball team. Street tossed two no-hitters in helping lead the Longhorns to two Southwest Conference titles.
