Arthur Carmody kicked the football extremely accurately during the 2006 season. On three separate occasions this year, Carmody was a perfect 3-for-3 in field goals, helping his team win all three games. He made 21 of 25 field goals and was successful on all of his 60 PAT attempts. The best highlight of the seasons may have been Louisville’s first appearance in a BCS bowl. Carmody helped lead Louisville to its first FedEx Orange Bowl victory as the Cardinals defeated Wake Forest 24-13.

Ruggles, a senior from Odessa, Florida, is the nation’s top scoring kicker with 113 points. His bid for a perfect season came to an end this weekend, snapping what had been the nation’s longest consecutive field goal streak at 18 straight, going back to his previous season. Despite this late miss, his totals of 16‐for‐17 on field goals and 65‐for‐65 on PATs give him a combined accuracy rate of 98.78% on all kicks this season, the best by an FBS kicker with double‐digit field goal tries.
