Boston College QB Darius Wade exits game vs. FSU on crutches

Boston College quarterback Darius Wade left Friday night's game against Florida State with an apparent knee injury.

The injury came in the fourth quarter as FSU's Nile Lawrence-Stample charged toward Wade to force a fumble that was overturned upon further review.

True freshman Jeff Smith entered the game as Wade's replacement. Troy Flutie, nephew of Boston College great Doug Flutie, also saw some action by running the option on a fourth down.
