In his book, Bear Bryant mentions that he spent two weeks with Darrell Royal learning how to run the triple option.
When Royal had the wishbone the next hurdle was to find a quarterback to run it. At the place he finally got down to James Street he wanted to say something fanasticaly poiniant and encouraging to the youngster. As he was putting together what to tell Street, Coach Royal finally just said, “Ah hell just get in there. You can’t do any worse than the rest.” Two years later in 1969 James Street finished his Longhorn career 20-0.
