The Ducks treated Thursday's practice like a Wednesday because the national championship game is Monday. Safeties Juwaan Williams and Reggie Daniels both had an interception during practice; Derrick Malone Jr. also had an interception. Bralon Addison practiced on Thursday and worked with the scout team. Keanon Lowe said that the team has been focusing on attacking. "We've got to attack everything in our lives - especially outside of here, as far as school and life and everything like that."
