That percentage is currently the 3rd best in the NCAA for place-kickers who have attempted at least 10 field goals. Carmody has hit 16-of-17 in field goals this season with a long of 51-yards. The junior place-kicker is currently first among kickers in points per game with 9.3 points per game. Carmody is also a perfect 45 for 45 in extra points this season. On three occasions this year Carmody was a perfect 3-for-3 in field goals, helping his team win all three games.
