OMAHA -- Frank Solich prefers to maintain a low profile. He's been that way since I can remember -- dating to his days as Nebraska's running backs coach during the 1980s and '90s.
Sorry, Frank, the limelight will be bright this week.
Solich, who just completed his 14th season as Ohio University's head coach, arrived here late Tuesday afternoon for a news conference at Boys Town. He was alongside Alabama defensive lineman Quinnen Williams, who on Wednesday night will receive the Outland Trophy at the annual Outland Dinner at the Double Tree Hotel in downtown Omaha.
Highlighting the dinner will be Solich receiving the Tom Osborne Award for his contributions to college football.
