In his Freshman season 2005 he was listed as 39
I see you hating on my choice, and I thought about Makovicka, but Frank was where it all started in NU fullback dominance.
Solich's name can also be found in the Husker record book. As part of Devaney's first recruiting class at Nebraska, Solich became a standout fullback for the Huskers in the mid-1960s, lettering in 1963, 1964 and 1965. His playing career earned him induction into the Nebraska Football Hall of Fame in 1992.
Nebraska running backs succeeded by developing the same work ethic that made Solich a standout fullback. Solich was an All-Big Eight fullback and co-captain of the Huskers' 1965 team and still holds the NU single-game rushing record for fullbacks with a 204-yard outing against Air Force in 1965.
In fact, that performance stood as the Husker game record by any player for 10 years. He rushed for 444 yards as a junior in 1964 and was second on the team in 1965 with 580 yards.
The teams Solich played on started the winning tradition Nebraska has enjoyed for the last four decades. The Huskers posted records of 9-2, 10-1, 9-2 and 10-1 while Solich was on the roster, won three conference titles and played in four straight bowl games. The 1965 Husker team completed the regular season unbeaten and in position for a national championship, but lost 39-28 to Bear Bryant's Alabama team in the Orange Bowl.
