I doubt it's an injury.

It's one thing to hide an injury during a game, or maybe even a weekend, but Jackson, the other coaches and the sports medicine staff would be able to sniff out an injury significant enough to limit a player to the point he is playing so poorly. I would be more convinced it might be a mechanical issue or bad habit that formed coming off time missed from an injury.

The raw number falloff hasn't been as bad, but the optics of his struggles remind me of David Brown's Sophomore season with a GAA of around 4 after posting one around 2 with four shutouts as a freshman.
