UCLA has been one of the most-penalized teams in the country in recent years, but the Bruins have turned a new leaf this year: They’re on track for their least-penalized season under Jim Mora.

Despite an overall improved effort to cut down the penalties this season, UCLA had a season-high 13 flags against Colorado. The team is hoping to get back to their previous form this weekend against Oregon State.
