LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Brian Brohm and Louisville finally got a little revenge on Rutgers.
Art Carmody kicked a 33-yard field goal with 20 seconds remaining to lift the Cardinals over the Scarlet Knights 41-38 on Thursday night.

Brohm, making his final collegiate start, threw for 237 yards and a touchdown and ran for another score as Louisville (6-6, 3-4 Big East) salvaged a disappointing season by rallying from 18 points down to stun the Scarlet Knights (7-5, 3-4).

Carmody, who set an NCAA record for career points by a kicker, had never made a game-winner during his career. He went out in style though, calmly drilling the ball through the uprights.

Carmody finished his career with 433 points, breaking the old record held by Houston kicker Roman Anderson, who had 423 points for the Cougars from 1988-91.

Meanwhile, Rutgers has accepted a bid to play in the International Bowl. The Scarlet Knights will face a team from the Mid-American Conference, most likely Ball State, on Jan. 5 in Toronto.

ALABAMA: A jury awarded $5 million to Ray Keller, a former football booster who claimed the NCAA defamed him when it imposed penalties on the Crimson Tide in 2002.

PENN STATE: Coach Joe Paterno's salary is no longer one of the most closely guarded secrets in college sports - he will earn more than $500,000 this year. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled last week that his salary and other Penn State officials are public information.
