Ohio St. LB K’Vaughn Pope Quits And Walks Off Field Mid-Game

Ohio State football player K’Vaughn Pope threw his gloves in the stands, took off his jersey, and walked in to the dressing room.

The Buckeyes won 59-7 today at home against the Akron Zaps. Unfortunately it wasn’t all good news for the team today.

Apparently, as Pope was coming in for a sub-package Teradja Mitchell waved him off. Pope then stormed down the sideline and started walking down to the tunnel. Pope was brought back to the sidelines, but then threw his gloves in to the stands and took off his jersey. He was then taken to the locker room.
