Q. There is a report that University of Southern California reached out to you in the last week or so. Have they reached out to you?

I have noticed a lot of Penn State fans in the misstate with one of two attitudes on their minds. Some are eternal optimists, one fan went to great lengths to show me before the Michigan loss how Penn State could possibly make the National Championship in the next two games. Others are not so cheery. One fan told me tonight that between the Eagles and the Nittany Lions he just hopes its a White Christmas. I sat back and just sort of chuckled. Does anybody truly remember four years ago?
The Nittany Lions close out the regular season by visiting No. 6/6 Michigan State Saturday at 3:30 p.m. on ESPN. This game marks the Nittany Lions’ 10th appearance of the season on an ESPN/ABC network.
Eagles head coach answers questions the day after his team was humiliated at home by the equally 4-5 Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 45-17.
Kelly said he is not making any drastic changes in his lineup.
Q. After that, can you tell us that the players believe in what you’re trying to do?
CHIP KELLY: I don’t think anybody played well today, and I don’t think we’re talking about beliefs. We just didn’t play well as a football team in any facet of the game and there’s no excuse for that.
Everyone across the Delaware Valley predicted a 4-0 November for the Birds and Philadelphia would be 7-4 heading into Foxboro on December 6 and a date with the New England Patriots.
Yesterday’s 45-17 loss to the guaranteed the Eagles (4-6) won’t have even a winning record going into that game.
The Buccaneers (5-5) converted 10 of their first 13 third-down plays…the Eagles simply could not get off the field all afternoon. Even after what appeared to be a good start.
Penn State vs. Michigan

Opening Statement
I wanted to start by thanking all the fans for coming out, it was a great atmosphere. I think the fans really had a big impact early in the game with penalties. I give credit to Michigan; it’s a good football team.
