LAWRENCE, Kan. -- Frank Solich has only fond memories of leading teams against Kansas.Now the longtime coach of Ohio, Solich spent six years running Nebraskas juggernaut in the 1990s and early 2000s. He never lost to the Jayhawks, spanking them by an average margin of 40-9.Things may be a bit tighter when his Bobcats visit Memorial Stadium on Saturday.Kansas is coming off a trouncing of Rhode Island, its first victory in more than a year, while Ohio is trying to bounce back from a gut-wrenching triple-overtime loss to Texas State .Ive been away for quite some time, said Solich, who was fired by Nebraska in 2003. Ive got a lot of respect for the Big 12 and obviously their ability to recruit within the Big 12, so Kansas will have very good athletes and were going to have to make sure we rise up.Weve stepped on the field against teams from power conferences and faired fairly well.Indeed, the Bobcats have knocked off Pittsburgh and Penn State over the years.The Jayhawks (1-0) were happy to beat anyone after losing 15 consecutive games, even if it was against an FCS also-ran in the Rams. But the 55-6 victory in their opener not only gave second-year coach David Beaty his first win, it gave the entire program a profound sense of optimism.The Jayhawks believe on win can just as easily become two.Obviously there is some momentum coming off of that. Lot more smiles walking in that building and a lot more hop in their step, Beaty said. Its motivated them and is driving those guys -- they like the taste and so do we -- so were going to keep working to try to earn another one.As Solich prepares to head back to Kansas, here are five story lines to watch:FRESHMEN FLOP: Not even Beaty expected the Jayhawks to play so many freshmen in Week 1, but he admitted a few more could have gotten on the field -- and may this Saturday.Their week of practice went downhill so they didnt help us at all, Beaty said of those who rode the bench. It was a great lesson for a bunch of guys that had opportunities to play but they didnt get to because the week started getting a little bit tough for them. I think they learned some hard lessons.JAYHAWKS IN: Defensive tackle D.J. Williams and linebacker Marcquis Roberts missed the opener for undisclosed reasons but are expected back against Ohio, while wide receiver Jeremiah Booker could get on the field after dealing with an ankle sprain.I know that he was crushed not getting on the field, Beaty said this week, but he wasnt completely ready yet and hopefully hell be back and ready to go full-tilt.BOBCATS OUT: Running back A.J. Oullette is expected to miss the game with a foot injury, though Solich did not provide details. The Bobcats wound up giving four different running backs at least eight carries apiece in their loss to Texas State.BIG OFFENSE IN WIN: The Jayhawks had 399 yards passing, including touchdown throws from three different quarterbacks, and 171 yards rushing against the Rams. It was the kind of production that fans had hoped to see when Beaty installed his version of the Air Raid last season.We trust our coaching and we know that when we go out there everything will fall into place, said quarterback Montell Cozart, who is expected to make his second straight start Saturday. We just had to play the game and make routine plays.BIG OFFENSE IN LOSS: Sure, the Bobcats had three overtimes to pad their stats, but they still piled up 630 yards of offense last week. That could be viewed as encouraging or worrying.Its a terrible feeling, Ohio quarterback Greg Windham said, but I have faith in all of these guys that well come back hungrier next week and its going to be a different story.

We hope last year was a blip on the radar for UCF. I think we are heading in the right direction, there is no doubt about that.The results this season would certainly seem to support Frosts belief. Aside from a blowout loss at Michigan in the second game of the season and a 17-point defeat on the road to American Athletic Conference rival USF in the regular season finale, the Knights were within a realistic shot of a 10-win season.If that doesnt show the growth of the program from a season ago, junior left tackle Aaron Evans isnt sure what does.If you look at our record yeah, we are 6-6 but multiple games were lost in the last minute, he said. We could have had a 10-2 season. We were so close to having a really, really good season.The UCF players all credit Frost, who has won his team over by embracing the players he inherited and showing a trust and believe in them. While has turned to some freshmen like quarterback McKenzie Milton and running back Jawon Hamilton, he has continue to rely on veteran players such as senior running back Dontravious Wilson, junior defensive tackle Tony Guerad and senior linebacker Mark Rucker, who leads the team in tackles (88) as a first-time starter.dddddddddddd.He brought back the fun in the game, Rucker said. Last year it wasnt that fun to play, but this year we have a swag about ourselves. The defense and the offense are both having fun.Evans admits initially he was hesitant to trust Frost. But his genuine nature and willingness to connect with the players won Evans and his teammates over well before his high-octane offense did.He has really made a huge effort to establish a relationship with each and every one of us, Evans said. I think that has translated into how we played this year, how the team is growing. Its been fun. Hes laid back, hes very dedicated, hes diligent and he pursues excellence all of the time.It hasnt hurt that the Knights have seen the results on the field, too. Now a win over a solid Arkansas State team that rebounded from a 0-4 start to finish 7-5 and with a share of the Sun Belt Conference title would cement the Knights comeback season.We had a chance to win a bunch of games this year and we won enough to get to a bowl game, Frost said. But I expect our young players to enjoy this success and use this as a springboard to keep on improving. We are on the right track and we are going to keep taking steps in that direction. ' ' '
