What’s with the ‘World Famous Ohio St Buckeyes’ moniker I’ve heard now twice today?
Ok, now I get it

.
There certainly could be some people outside the United States who consider the Buckeyes' football program to be world famous, but that's not why Johnson has deemed them internationally significant. In fact, it has nothing to do with football at all.

It is because of Jesse Owens.

Johnson spoke at Ohio State's campus on Nov. 10, two days before the team's game against Indiana, during which he spoke about his terming of the Buckeyes as "world famous." He said that when Owens ran in the 1936 Olympics in Berlin, claiming four gold medals, that he put Ohio State on the international map.

I know we have a really good QB room, but I believe Sayin will be special, and I wished he stayed. I watched a lot of his HS games, he was impressive.
