Yeah, I'm surprised that 2013 wasn't more of an end to end tank job on offense (certainly had its moments of terribleness in the middle).  It's hard for a lot of teams to lose an NFL QB, NFL OT, one of the most productive WRs in school history, and a very good college #2 WR.  It's especially hard at Syracuse, where we don't reload, at least not in modern times.  Then add in that pretty much every offensive mind was pulled 2 hours westward.

Having said that, the year 1 to year 2 problems on offense of the Shafer regime are more concerning.  I'd love to chalk it all up to injuries, but that's not what leads to changing offensive coordinators midseason.

I think it's way to much to expect of Lester, with his limited offensive coordinator experience in major college football, to get us to over 400 yards per game, 27 points per game in just one season.  But that's at least where we'll need to be to get back to a bowl game.  And those #'s are average at best.  66 teams averaged 400 yards last year.  79 teams averaged better than 27 points.
