"Arkansas was averaging 42 points a game, and that was in 1962 which is almost unbelievable. They came into Austin, and it was a hot night - it was 89 degrees. They had us down 3-0 and they got the ball down on our two yard line, and that's when Johnny Treadwell said we have got them where we want them. They had thrown the ball to get down there, and they ran their fullback, and our defensive line got under [current Dallas Cowboys owner] Jerry Jones and their group up front, and we hit Danny Brabham at the same time and the ball rolled right over our shoulders. And that young man, Danny Brabham, got death threats for the next two weeks. That affected him the rest of his life. That's how big [the game was], and it wasn't on television. It was on radio and the 64,000 people that were there and that was it. But that picture was captured by Al Panzera of the Fort Worth Press, who got down in the end zone expecting a touchdown and caught that picture. I sign - usually once a month - photographs of that reproduction." Pat Culpepper
^^^^ Johnny Treadwell and Pat Culpepper stopping hog RB - think it was Danny Braybam? Horns hung on to win 7-0 IIRC.
Indeed - had a buddy who knew him at Marshall and said he was an incredible kid even back then. Worked incredibly hard and deserved every achievement and accolade he got.
Versus the Irish Jan. 1, 1970 Worster punished and ran wild that day 100 + yards rushing. Horns 21 Irish 17
One of my favs versus ou 1968. My Dad and I were sitting in that North End Zone and saw Worster whistle in for a TD. Horns won, think it was 27-16.
Not many Texas DB's could lay the wood anymore devastating than Bryant Westbrook! Be sure and enable the audio on the video:
The pic of Freddie on crutches @ the Cotton Bowl 1. Breaks my heart & 2. Shows me the determination to keep going no matter what obstacle is in front We should have a statue of Freddie on campus/@ DKR Memorial.
"Freddie was an incredible warrior on the field and especially fighting cancer. He was brave and didn't complain despite knowing he was losing the battle and would die. I encourage anyone to read his book, "I Play to Win".
