Arkansas fullback commitment Hayden Johnson was all decked out in Razorback gear while watching the Hogs defeat Missouri 94-61 in Columbia last Tuesday.

Johnson, who attends Rock Bridge High School in Columbia, got some odd looks from the Tiger fans.

"I just got a lot of stares from the Mizzou fans, nothing terrible," Johnson said. "A couple comments were like "You're wearing the wrong colors" and some asked me why I chose Arkansas over Mizzou."

Arkansas shot 62.7 precent from the field, the best ever in SEC play. The 33 point victory was the worst home loss for Missouri since Wilt Chamberlin and Kansas defeated the Tigers 91-58 in 1957. The 6-foot 3-inch and 245 pound Johnson explained his decision to be a Hog to the Missouri fans.

"I just say they have an incredible fan base and their football program is the best in the country," Johnson said.
