Ohio State linebacker K'Vaughan Pope seemingly quit on his team in the middle of game against Akron on Saturday with his team up 35–7 in a strange display.
In the second quarter, Pope attempted to take the field during a substitution but was waved off by teammate and linebacker Teradja Mitchell, per The Lettermen's Austin Ward. Pope, visibly upset, started to walk back to the locker room but was stopped by a Buckeyes staff member and escorted back to the sideline.
Once there, he took off his gloves and threw them into the stands before beginning to take off his jersey.
