HATTIESBURG, Miss. (AP) — While Southern Miss receiver DeAndre Brown may have undeniable talent, coach Larry Fedora isn’t thrilled with his attitude.

In Thursday’s 41-13 loss to South Carolina, the 6-foot-6, 240-pound Brown caught four balls for 65 yards and a touchdown-but all of his catches came in the fourth quarter after the game was basically decided.

“If you look at his game from the other night there was nothing special on his part,” Fedora said. “It wasn’t even an average performance to be honest with you.”

Fedora and offensive coordinator Blake Anderson questioned Brown’s effort during Monday’s press conference, particularly when plays weren’t designed to go his way.

“It’s not any different for him than it is for anyone else.” Fedora said. “We expect him to play hard whether he’s getting the ball or not and give everything he’s got on every snap. That’s not just DeAndre Brown, that’s everybody.”
