Roberson was 15-for-19 passing for 215 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 38-31 win over Rice.

The redshirt junior has back-to-back games with at least two touchdowns. Roberson connected with tight end Justin Joly on a 59-yard score during the fourth quarter, which would extend the Huskies' lead and ultimately win the game. He will look to build off this performance for their upcoming matchup against South Florida.

Roberson will be the Huskies' starting quarterback Saturday against Florida International, Joe Arruda of the Hartford Courant reports.

Joseph Fagnano (shoulder) must sit out what is remaining of the Huskies' 2023 season. Previously their backup quarterback, Roberson will be promoted to a starting role beginning from Saturday during Week 3. He completed 63.3 percent of his 30 passes for 216 yards and two touchdowns when the Huskies played at Georgia State last Saturday.

Roberson (knee) is a full-go for UConn's future practices.

Roberson tore his ACL at the start of UConn's 2022 season. After almost a year of recovery, he can now physically compete for the Huskies' starting quarterback position. Roberson's competition is once again Zion Turner and Cale Millen, UConn's No. 1 and No. 2 quarterbacks while Roberson sat out.

Roberson (knee) has torn his ACL, and he will miss the remainder of the 2022 season, Joe Arruda of the Hartford Courant reports.

Roberson underwent surgery Monday morning to repair the torn ACL, but he will be unable to return this season. The redshirt sophomore quarterback completed 1-of-2 passes for 10 yards, and he rushed for eight yards on three attempts prior to exiting the game. Zion Turner is expected to start for UConn in his absence.

There is belief that Roberson (knee) suffered an ACL injury Saturday against Utah State, ThisIsUConnCountry reports.

Roberson, who won the starting job after transferring from Penn State, injured his knee at the end of a run and it seems this is a worst-case scenario for him. If he does end up missing the rest of the season, then freshman Zion Turner would operate as the starting quarterback for the Huskies going forward.

Roberson (knee) will not return Saturday against Utah State, Dom Amore of the Hartford Courant reports.

This is a brutal turn of events for Roberson, who won the starting job after transferring from Penn State. He injured his knee at the end of a run and he is done for at least the remainder of Saturday's game. A more specific timetable on his injury figures to be disclosed during the week. If he remains out against Central Connecticut State, freshman Zion Turner would likely remain the quarterback for the Huskies.

Roberson (undisclosed) exited Saturday's season-opener against Utah State, Jason Turner of The Herald Journal reports.

Roberson was shaken up after taking a big hit on a keeper play early in the first half. The redshirt sophomore completed 1-of-2 passes for 10 yards, and added eight rushing yards on three attempts, prior to his departure. Zion Turner stepped in as his replacement following the hit.

Roberson will start Saturday against Utah State, Pete Thamel of ESPN.com reports.

The Penn State transfer wins the job at UConn after a long competition with other quarterbacks that wasn't officially decided until gameday. Roberson, a former four-star recruit, completed 11 of 28 passes for 85 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions while adding 12 rushes for 24 yards and two touchdowns in backup duty for the Nittany Lions last season.

Roberson has decided to transfer to Connecticut.

Roberson saw a bit of action under center for the Nittany Lions in 2021 but eventually fell behind Christian Veilleux in the pecking order following Sean Clifford. That likely prompted his decision to explore opportunities elsewhere, and Roberson has found a home with the Huskies that should afford him a decent chance of claiming the starting job in 2022.

Roberson entered the transfer portal Monday and is expected to leave Penn State, Tyler Donohue of 247Sports.com reports.

Roberson's decision to leave State College comes after incumbent starting quarterback Sean Clifford announced he would return to the Nittany Lions in 2022. With Clifford on track to open the upcoming season atop the depth chart, Roberson will presumably look to move on to a school that can present him with an opportunity to compete for a starting job. A redshirt sophomore this past season, Roberson completed 11 of 29 attempts for 85 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions while adding 23 yards on the ground across his three seasons with Penn State. He'll have up to three years of eligibility to use at his next school.

Roberson (undisclosed) appeared to be a full participant during warmups ahead of Saturday's game against Maryland, Tyler Donohue of 247sports.com reports.

Roberson has been limited recently but appears to be back to full health as he continues to battle with Christian Veilleux for the top backup spot behind Sean Clifford.

Roberson (undisclosed) was limited last week and is in a battle for the backup quarterback position, Audrey Snyder of The Athletic reports.

Head coach James Franklin did not say what Roberson was dealing with, but it looks like he and Christian Veilleux will be battling for the backup quarterback job going forward once Roberson can get back to full strength.

Roberson (undisclosed) did participate in practice last season, Audrey Snyder of The Athletic reports.

Roberson wasn't spotted at the portion open the media, but coach James Franklin clarified after the session that he did, in fact, participate. He should slot in as the team's backup quarterback behind Sean Clifford on Saturday.

Roberson isn't on the field for practice Wednesday, Audrey Snyder of The Athletic reports.

The reason behind Roberson's absence may be forthcoming later in the day, but it seems the sophomore is currently unavailable for some reason. If he sits out Saturday, Christian Veilleux would presumably slot in as the top backup behind starter Sean Clifford versus Ohio State.

Roberson is slated to split reps under center this week, Richard Scarcella of the Reading Eagle reports.

Roberson and Christian Veilleux are both preparing as if Sean Clifford (undisclosed) won't be able to give it a go this week. If that's the case, one of the two signal-callers will likely be given the nod depending on who impresses in practice. Roberson entered in place of Clifford against Iowa in Week 6 but completed just seven of his 21 pass attempts for 34 yards while tossing a pair of picks.
