Wade carried the bulk of the load for a rushing attack that rolled up 457 yards in Week 3. The senior running back, who surfaced atop the depth chart when Kyle Harbirdge was lost for the season, ran 27 times for 243 yards and three touchdowns during a 57-23 road win over Pioneer League member Morehead State. Wade’s three touchdown runs helped the Red Flash turn a 17-0 deficit into a 28-23 lead by the 4:54 mark of the third quarter. Wade put Saint Francis on the scoreboard by plunging in from three yards out midway through the second quarter.  He produced a 40-yard scoring sprint on the Flash’s first possession of the second half, pulling his team within 23-21. Wade put the Flash ahead for good when he scored on a 1st-and-goal play from the 9-yard line.
