Some other efficiency stats on footballoutsiders.com had us in the 50s and 60s.

Based purely on average yards per game.

Right I saw that. But a lot of teams didn't get their, to quote Ike, CUPCAKE games to pad their numbers in both OOC and IC. Based on the efficiency we would have likely been lower in AYPG rank if they could have played those games.

All relative. 4 and 5 star recruits versus 4 and 5 star recruits, and 3 and 4 star recruits versus 3 and 4 star recruits.

With this past season definitely, but I don't think that example works. With the OOC games a lot of teams didn't get to play their buy games against FCS schools and lower tier FBS schools so that wouldn't have been against equal recruits. Like how we played SFA and got 574 yards. And with the IC games where the recruits still only do so much, teams missed games against weaker teams or teams that would have driven up the yards in their games. Also more games could have brought teams down. Kent State is #1 in AYPG and they only played four games.

My point was just that we can't say the offense was good this season based on that stat alone.
