UConn head coach Jim Mora announced that starting quarterback Joseph Fagnano has a shoulder injury that will require surgery and keep him off the field for the remainder of this season. Ta’Quan Roberson will be the starter going forward.
“He’s done for the year, unfortunately,” Mora said, “As a team, we have great confidence in Ta’Quan and obviously in Zion [Turner] behind him, but it’s devastating for Joe...it’s a fairly significant injury.” He’s scheduled for surgery on Friday.
Fagnano left the Georgia State game with a 4-of-9 tally on his pass attempts for 60 yards after going 14-of-26 for 113 yards against NC State.
