Lewis
left the sideline in the 1954 Cotton Bowl and tackled the all-American
halfback Dicky Moegle of Rice near midfield. Moegle had eluded Alabama’s
Bart Starr and was on his way to a 95-yard touchdown when Lewis brought
him down. Lewis ran back to the bench, and Moegle was credited with a
touchdown.
Lewis explained his actions by saying that he “was just too full of Alabama.” Rice won the game, 28-6.
