Husky Talk- Geoff Heyl and Matt Nuzie

New episode of Huskytalk tonight with two amazing former teammates Geoff Heyl and Matt Nuzie. We had a blast, and the guys were happy I referred to them as football players.
Geoff attended the same high school as Laban A. Marsh and was recruited by UConn Football after a coach watched tape on Laban. Geoff was redshirted but did get to be part of the legendary 1998 playoff team. He was offered a full scholarship and not given much time to decide, but very happy he came to Storrs.
Matt and I were only together for a season, it was awesome getting to know him better. Hearing his story, despite attending Trumball, CT in high school, UConn was not on his radar as he planned to attend New Hampshire before receiving an unexpected scholarship offer.
Both share funny stories and the bond between kickers. Being in competition, along with supporting each other for success. Geoff remembers his biggest kick was a game winner to beat Akron in 2000. Matt remembers going on an unbelievable hot streak of making 10 field goals in a row. Also being part of the transition into the Big East along with UConn's first bowl win against Toledo.
I apologize for not giving a longer description. I was thrown off our interview at the end unexpectedly and completely went blank. Sometimes you never see a train coming. I am rarely speechless and will do better. It was a great show and taught me a lot about what kickers go through. Thank both Matt and Geoff for allowing me to tell their stories.
