The UCLA Bruins could be penalized after Titus Mokiao-Atimalala played in Saturday's game against the Minnesota Golden Gophers after initially being listed out on the team's pregame availability report.

Mokiao-Atimalala caught three passes for 24 yards against the Gophers on Saturday night but according to ESPN's Brett McMurphy, it was also a violation of the Big Ten's sportsmanship policy.

The policy - implemented last season - requires teams to release an injury report two hours before kickoff. While a penalty is likely in order, McMurphy is unsure what the penalty would be.

Mokiao-Atimalala is fourth on the Bruins with seven catches for 67 yards this season. While there is no word on what caused the Bruins to list him as out on their availability report, the fact he played does signal a rules violation.

UCLA had 18 players listed out and nine players listed as questionable heading into Saturday night's matchup at Rose Bowl Stadium.

The Bruins may have enforced their own penalty, however, as they fell to 1-5 overall and 0-4 in Big Ten play after the Gophers victory on Saturday night.
