A tenacious competitor, Freddie became UT's star safety by the start of the 1969 season, but he'd also developed a crippling pain in his thigh. Freddie continued to play, helping the Longhorns to rip through opponents like pulpwood. His final game was for the 1969 national championship, when the Longhorns rallied to beat Arkansas in a legendary game that has become known as \"the Game of the Century.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTragically, bone cancer took Freddie off the field when nothing else could.
