No. 1 – Will Parks hit OSU wide Receiver Jordan Villamin and knocked him silly.
Arizona Wildcats safety Will Parks made five tackles on Saturday, but one tackle was heard around the world. The tackle was a big, huge, massive, violent, text-book, NFL-style hit on Oregon State wide receiver
who never saw it coming. Villamin seemed as if he was knocked unconscious by the hit, but ended up walking off under his own power after an extended on-field medical evaluation.
Fans we polled in the Arizona Football Chat group almost unanimously voted for this play as the biggest plays of the game:
Lori B. – “Philly Will with the smack down for sure!!!”
Benjamin S. – “Will Parks hit, it’s not even close.”
Craig L. – “Win was great, but after two weeks of tackling-optional defense, the hit was pretty swell.”
When Paul and Jarvis were asked about the Will Parks hit, “He got us all hyped and ready to go, I know the fans were excited about it..I was excited getting in Will’s face and hyping up some more,” said Magloire. Jarvis McCall Jr. chimed in, “Personally I got hyped again seeing it on the big screen.”

By the way, it seems Villamin is fine.
Jordan Villamin was the victim of Will Parks' big hit, but is joking about it and seems fine http://t.co/VOoWYwnojX pic.twitter.com/soap9Bl4nF
