Johnson looked forward to the game most of the season and was very candid in his assessment of both programs after Saturday night's contest. </p>
"Ole Miss didn't look real pretty," said C.J. "Mississippi State looked good. They got a little relaxed at the end and turned the ball over, but they played pretty good most of the game. </p>
"Ole Miss has some issues on defense and I am not sure recruiting three or four guys are going to make a difference to be honest." </p>
The Rebels hosted plenty of candidates for inclusion on their future roster as an unofficial visitors. </p>
"There were a lot of guys there," said Johnson. "Nick Brassell and (Kendrick) Market weren't there or I didn't see them. Justin Bell, Aaron Morris, Jermaine Whitehead and Donte Moncrief were the main ones I talked to. </p>
"Me and Jermaine were just kind of looking at each other, but we didn't say much." </p>
Johnson had a tough time containing his excitement after a big play and his actions invoked an interesting response from a fan in attendance. </p>
"When Chris Relf broke the big run, I jumped up to see if he broke it because I couldn't see real good," said C.J. "This guy came up to me and ripped my lanyard off my neck. He said I didn't need to be there if I was going to be rooting for State. </p>
"I wasn't trying to cause any problems and I wasn't cheering. I was just trying to see the play." </p>
The talented linebacker had the chance to talk about his future with a more captive audience earlier this evening when three coaches from Mississippi State stopped in for an in home visit. </p>
"Coach Diaz, Coach Hud and Coach Hughes all came tonight," said C.J. "We talked about the depth chart and in state recruiting. </p>
"Last night Mississippi State started like 18 or 19 Mississippi players in the Egg Bowl and Ole Miss started like four." </p>
The Bulldogs' local flavor is appealing to C.J. </p>
"Growing up in Mississippi and watching the Egg Bowl that was real important to me," said Johnson. "People outside of Mississippi don't realize what a big deal the Egg Bowl is in the state. </p>
"Everybody watches that game and it's a big deal to the people in Mississippi." </p>
When the Bulldogs and Rebels get together next season, Johnson will be in uniform rather than in the stands. </p>
"I am looking forward to being a part of all of that," said C.J. of the rivalry. "I will get to play in the game next year and State is going to win again."

Cmon man!
