Wade Needs Surgery, Out for Season

Saturday, Sept. 19

Pete Thamel of Sports Illustrated reported Wade is expected to undergo surgery on his broken ankle this weekend. 

ESPN.com's Andrea Adelson caught a glimpse of the sack:

Reddit CFB showed how Wade's leg bent on his way down under the weight of Lawrence-Stample:

At the time of his exit, Wade was leading the team in rushing with 38 yards while adding another 47 yards through the air. But he struggled, throwing an interception on 4-of-12 passing. 

Upon Wade's departure, freshmen Troy Flutie, nephew of former NFL quarterback Doug Flutie, and Jeff Smith took snaps under center. 

With Wade's season over, Boston College will probably choose one of the two to be the starter moving forward. The Eagles also have another freshman in John Fadule on the roster.
