Will Parks was extra motivated for Saturday's game because of who was in the stands.
More than 20 of Parks' immediate and extended family members flew in throughout the week from his hometown of Philadelphia. Friday, they spent the night in Tempe watching his brother, New Mexico receiver Delane Hart-Johnson, play against ASU.
While Parks’ mother and grandmother didn’t make the trip — they’ll be here for Senior Night, he said — his father certainly did. It was only his dad’s second trip to Tucson since Parks came to the UA. Thursday afternoon, they were spotted lunching at Sauce.
