Steven M. Sipple: Huskers' special-teams issues raise red flags on overall lack of buy-in

Tanner Farmer opened the door Sept. 17 when he told reporters that Nebraska football coach Scott Frost essentially told his players, "Buy in or move out."

Mohamed Barry pushed the door open even wider Saturday when, following a 56-10 loss at Michigan, he said, "There are some people who want it and some people who don't. That's why we're playing the brand of football we're playing right now."

Nebraska is 0-3 for the first time since 1945. Virtually nobody expected such a rugged start to the Scott Frost era. As people search for answers, it's easy to point to players' level of "buy-in" because, well, Frost has raised the issue himself.
