Forgotten but not gone

Sometimes guys get lost in the shuffle, buried on the depth chart, forgotten by us media types (or even their own coaches). Some of those players re-emerged Saturday. Antonio Parks made a great play on the interception. It looked like Cedric Peterson’s ball all the way. “He’s had a really good camp,” Rodriguez said of Parks. “He needed to. This was an important camp for him to show something.” If Cruikshank moves full time to safety, Parks, a redshirt freshman, moves up the depth chart. Likewise cornerback Sammy Morrison, who opened with the ones. Up front, Marcus Griffin played a ton of snaps, had an early sack and appeared to hold his own. Griffin is a former four-star recruit who frankly hasn’t done much entering his fourth season at Arizona. “This is the hardest he’s practiced,” Rodriguez said. “I think he sees an opportunity. I don’t know where he’s at on the depth chart right now, but he’s done enough in camp that he’s in the conversation.”
