Few teams can make as many special-teams errors as Bowling Green did Saturday and still win. The Falcons had a kickoff returned for a touchdown, a punt blocked, a field goal blocked, an extra point blocked and an extra point missed against Buffalo. Amazingly, Bowling Green still won 48-40 in overtime. Place-kicker Sean Ellis, who had a 23-yard field goal blocked, left the game with a hip injury. His status for Saturday's game at Florida International is not known. "We've got to look at some of our schemes, particularly on punting, and some personnel," Bowling Green coach Gregg Brandon told The Toledo Blade. "We've got to do a better job overall. And we will."

I believe the word you are looking for is: feign
