Eh, not really, but I'm well aware of changes in the game.   My only argument has been that until know the most important point of reference is to recent SU's past, because it shows how far they have had to go to even be able to execute.   I see posts and I'm not sure people realize how completely bottomed out the team was.   This stuff about it was Robinson's game day coaching that was the difference and not a complete systemic collaspe is nuts.
 
SU never averaged over 300 yds per game in any season under Robinson.  Over all his games the average was 271 yds total offense, there were nine games of less than 200 yds total offense.   
 
By way of comparision this year only three teams has less than that, Kentucky, Kent St, and Florida Atlantic.  And Robinson's teams did that for 4 years.   Recovering from being that bad, for that long, takes time.
 
But as far as text goes and dismissing 400 yds as mediocre, that is unrealistic as well.  
 
6 teams averaged over 500 yds, that's it.  It's not the norm.   Another 18 were between 450 and 500, and 20 more were between 400 and 450.   If SU got to the 400 mark that would be a huge accomplishment, it still is a lot.
