Is it worth running Wade?

I was chatting with a co-worker about the OSU-VT game and how Urban Meyer kept running Cardale Jones, saying that while he has the arm, he doesn't understand why Meyer is risking losing him to a nonsensical injury running a zone read. This had me wonder about what Daz runs on offense and how this can hurt Wade. Think about it, Jones is 6'5, 250 pounds and if he's at risk for injury, how much greater a chance are we risking Wade at only 6'0, 205 pounds, who's not even a duel threat? He had 11 rushes for 18 yards and 1 of those rushes was for 17 yards, with a green OL. I might be talking crazy but if the staff is REALLY going all in on Wade, why risk losing him on a run play? If Daz is really pulling the strings on offense, which I believe he is until I see otherwise, why not skip the BS, just put in Smith and run the Murphy option?
