Wildcat: Your 12 catches last week was a big game, but what's your most memorable UA sports moment?
Wade: Freshman year. Washington State. Game winning touchdown on a Hail Mary pass. It was a controversial catch, but it was a catch. It was my first 100 yard game.
Wildcat: My favorite moment was last year when you drilled that ASU receiver on the fake punt. How did that feel?
Wade: As far as a feeling, that had to be the best feeling. Taxing Daryl Lightfoot on that fake punt, especially after that guy came here and mooched off me. A guy that I took into my own house on weekends that weren't official recruiting weekends and getting to smack him in the face was great, plus he's one of my buddies.
Wildcat: With the depleted secondary, any thoughts of you playing a little defense maybe?
Wade: I'd love it. That would be a dream come true. Id love to play defense, but with the way things go around here, no such luck.
