BERKELEY, Calif. — Progress starts in practice. Winning habits aren't always inherent. Most of the time, they need to be taught.
A week after the Oregon football team failed to finish off Stanford, the Ducks made key plays down the stretch to beat a ranked team on the road, knocking off No. 24 California on Saturday, 42-24. And the Ducks showed they'd learned a few things from the previous week's experience — the previous week's game, and the previous week's practice.
Saturday's victory was finished off by an interception from freshman safety Jevon Holland.
