After back-to-back losses, including Saturday’s 58-34 disappointment to Stanford, UCLA has a long to-do list to get back on track. Head coach Jim Mora laid it out Monday:

• Defense
  • Open-field tackling
  • Build a trust among teammates within the scheme
  • Play with “maniacal effort”
• Offense
  • Limit turnovers
  • Capitalize on defensive takeaways
• Special teams
  • Cover kick returns and limit opponent return yardage
  • Shore up kick return blocking to allow for longer returns

The Bruins have a week to check off each box before Saturday’s game against Colorado. UCLA is trying to avoid a three-game losing streak heading into the bye week.
