Against LSU two weeks ago, a slow start proved too much to overcome. Against Savannah State, it drew boos from an antsy crowd eager to see their Hurricanes romp in their home opener.
And even last year, against the same Toledo team it will face on Saturday afternoon, a sluggish start — even if it was partially caused by a 21-day Hurricane Irma induced layoff — had the Hurricanes sweating things out early before they rallied for their second victory of the year.
Needing more than a few possessions to get things together offensively has been a challenge for No.
