Baloney.  First of all there is more than offense.
 
But let's look at the offense.
 
OL - not even close, looking forward to the day when SU has an OL with three guys as good as Ojinnaka, Durand, and Franklin on it.
 
QB - P walk on Cam Dantley and RSF Ryan Nassib vs Jr PP, 6-6 previous year, and Fields. 
 
FB - there were no scholarship FB's on the roster when Marrone took over vs future NFL'er backed up by two pretty good talents in McDonald and Evans.
 
TE - Kowaleski, Ferron, Darlington vs Provo and P recruit Mike Owen.
 
RB - Wash.   Rhodes and Brinkley vs Carter and Bailey.   Collier and M. Jones had as much impact on the program K. Jones and Washington.
 
WR - other than Fr. P recruit Horne, Williams, Lemon (Robinson recruit), Sales were better than anybody on the roster when Robinson took over.
 
And you can't forget the rest of the team.   Robinson was handed a lot of defensive talent, and not just Seniors and never fielded a decent defense, and he didn't recruit more than a handful of guys that could play over  the 3 full recruiting cycles he had.
 
DL - putting aside that P commits AJones, Lewis and Perkins were on the roster, there was Lacasse, Wyche, Drame, Jenkins, Santiago, and Sklarosky.   When Marrone took the top 8 dlinemen were those three P recruits, CJones, and Marinovich, Tribby, and two of his guys, Ball and Sharpe.
 
LB - Marrone had converted running backs Smith, and RB Hogue,  Robinson had Soph, McClain, Jrs, Smith, Mackey, Cain, and Sr. Pruitt. 
 
DB's - not even close. Gregory, A Smith, Jackson (Jr.), Lemon (Jr), DDavis (So), LaCaille, Clayton, (Jr.) Chestnut (Fr.), Brown. (So)   Hell Robinson was starting P RB recruit Chiara the last couple of years.    Holmes, Merk, and Suter were nice players, but that's only three, and not close to the top guys above.
 
Specials -  Marrone was left with no place kickers.   At least Robinson had Shadle, Krautman, and Barker to work with.    Carney vs Long, not much difference.
 
 
Unless WR makes or breaks and entire football team, you would be wrong.
