Case should have started that game, or at least have been put in to start the second half. If that happens, we wouldn’t have had this game come down to the wire. The offense operated a lot smoother with Case at the controls.

Super Bill"s recruitment was the first recruitment I really followed. 

Been doing it ever since.

Good QB -- great Safety.  DKR was smart to find another spot for Bradley to play in 1968 when the QB reins were handed over to James to run the new wishbone offense.

Quote

In 1968, Texas started the season ranked #5 and introduced the wishbone formation on offense, with co-captain Bradley at quarterback. Struggling with the new offense, Texas with Bradley under center tied #11 Houston and lost to Texas Tech. James Street replaced Bradley during the 3rd quarter of the Texas Tech game and never relinquished the position, leading the Longhorns to 9 consecutive wins, a Southwest Conference Championship and victory in the Cotton Bowl. Bradley was moved to wide receiver for two weeks, and then to defensive back and kick-off returner. As a defensive back he set the Texas and Southwest Conference records for most interceptions in a game when he picked off Texas A&M four times at the end of the regular season. His final game as a Longhorn was the 36-13 win over Tennessee in the Cotton Bowl. He then played in the 1969 Hula Bowl, the Coaches All-America Game and the College All-Star Game.[1]
