However, as the season wore on, Sam's production slowed up. He had 10 sacks in his first 8 games, but just 1.5 in his last 6. He was also part of Missouri's disastrous defensive effort against Auburn, when Auburn ran for a staggering 545 yards. Sam played a lot of contain in this game (and not very well) against Auburn's run-heavy offense. When Auburn wanted to move Sam, they moved him. If you watch below, Sam is playing LDE when he's in the game. Sam's agent won't be volunteering this game tape.
