The organization announced Friday that Solich would be presented the Tom Osborne Legacy Award at the Outland Trophy banquet on Jan. 9 in Omaha. The FWAA said Solich has agreed to come to the event, which will be one of his few public appearances in the state since he was dismissed in 2003. Frost was Nebraska’s starting quarterback in 1996-97 and helped the Huskers send Osborne into retirement with his third national championship in four years. Solich was named head coach at Ohio in 2005 and has a 97-71 record in 13 seasons. “Let’s put it this way, I told him if he at all felt uncomfortable, I wanted him to feel completely free to not come,” Osborne said.
