Rooting For Darius Wade

Related Topics: Play-action pass

Once upon a time, Darius Wade looked poised to be a long-term starter at Boston College - someone who the offense could have been built around over the course of several seasons.

Those plans seemed to buckle in September of 2015 when Wade went down with a season-ending injury in the ACC opener against Florida State. We all know what happened after that: a carousel of QBs the remainder of the season, and a historically poor offense.

We don’t know for sure at this point whether Wade being passed over for fifth year transfer Patrick Towles was due to a lack of faith that Wade could be the starter, or due to Steve Addazio’s apparently reactionary decision to shift to a “pro style” offense in 2016 (though that transition hasn’t worked particularly well).
