How about a sack/scoop/score for Wade in the first OT possession against Lawrence in the Championship Game that's called a targeting foul live but is changed to no penalty (his helmet was up), Buckeye TD, game over!!
We can dream of such justice and then head to the Clemson boards.

Mah Dawg!! Loved this kids game since the first day he was on campus. I'm ecstatic that I get to see one more year of him in Scarlet and Gray. He'll be a captain and I'm calling Thorpe Award winner right now to go along with first round pick next draft.
Hopefully he's a great leader and brings those young pups along at lightning speed

Nah justice would be Wade intercepting Lawrence, TLaw goes for the tackle only for Wade to drop his head and bait a targeting call on TLaw.

KERRY COOMBS REUNITES WITH SHAUN WADE AT OHIO STATE HOPING TO TURN HIM INTO A STAR, FIRST-ROUND NFL DRAFT PICK
A ridiculously expedited timeline, Kerry Coombs recounted, served as the toughest aspect of securing a signed National Letter of Intent from Cameron Martinez.
“How do you develop trust in that short window of time?” Coombs asked rhetorically. “Well you'd better spend a lot of time with him in person and on the phone, whatever the rules allow.”
Coombs went ahead and spent an entire day in January, from early in the morning until late at night, in Muskegon, Michigan, with the sole purpose of developing a relationship in an abnormally short period of time. It worked, with Martinez putting his decision in writing on Wednesday morning. He’s a Buckeye.
But Coombs would prefer not to have to go through such a sped-up process. He hasn’t had to worry about that with the majority of the returning defensive backs, most of whom he knows from recruiting and coaching them in his first stint as an assistant coach at Ohio State before he left to take a job coaching the Tennessee Titans’ secondary under Mike Vrabel in 2018.
Among those with a long-standing relationship whom he has reunited with is Shaun Wade, a nickel cornerback last season who opted to put off the NFL for a year to return for another season at Ohio State. Because of that choice, Coombs now has his No. 1 cornerback for the 2020 season.
“I think it means the world, first of all, that he came back,” Coombs said on Wednesday.
Nobody can really overstate Wade’s return.
Had Wade left for the NFL, a decision so many people expected him to make, Coombs would have entered the Woody Hayes Athletic Center in January having to replace every single starter from a defensive backfield that played a significant role in Ohio State allowing the nation's fewest passing yards per attempt in 2019. Jeff Okudah left early, as expected, to become a top-10 NFL draft pick, and Damon Arnette and Jordan Fuller ran out of college eligibility.
Yet Wade chose to stay at Ohio State for one more season.
“Just like when Damon came back, having somebody who has that much experience, played in big games, that was a big, big deal for us,” Ryan Day said a couple weeks ago. “And Shaun is now going to become a leader. He's got to take that next step. And we're going to move him to corner full time. He's going to play out there. We think he's going to be -- he should be a Thorpe Award finalist right off the get-go. He's got a chance to be one of the best corners in the country and hopefully a first-round draft pick next year. That's huge for us. We're going to have some younger guys playing back there. So having his experience will be really important.”

I think he’ll be an all American on the outside this year, but really see him as a FS in the NFL.

He does have versatility but the kid is a true corner...just a pest. I love Jeffrey O, but did like Wade a bit better this season he meant so much to this team...he was the one db we could not afford to lose against Clem
