In support of this correct conclusion, I give you the words of Rick Cleveland...
"I tried to pick his brain and see if he remembered that game in Jackson. He recalled having one of his best games there, but he couldn’t remember the opponent either.
“Too many hits on this ol’ noggin,” D.D. said.
About 30 of them had to come that night.
D.D. Lewis remains one of the greatest linebackers I’ve ever watched play the game. He made All American on a team that finished 1-9, and that should tell you everything you need to know about him, except for the fact that Bear Bryant once said he was the best linebacker in America.
He’s a College Football Hall of Famer and a Mississippi Sports Hall of Famer."
