It's hard to answer this question on just stats, but last year GT was 14th in offensive efficiency, and Temple was 73rd. https://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/feioff
I'd think our offense will score more and get more yards, but be "less efficient". Our players should be better than Temple's, but I think we'll end up somewhere in the middle in FEI. It won't be 13th. It'll feel worse than it is, because we've had a pretty reliable system that players are schooled in for years, as we learn to throw the ball and make different reads and blocks.
In defense (sorry, not this thread, I'll try not to derail things), Temple was 37th in defensive efficiency and GT was 111th. https://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/feidef. I think our players, even in the front 7 where people are worried, are as good as Temple's and better in the backfield. It's year 1, so I think we'll be close in defense--gut feel is around top 50.
Special teams I expect to get better. Our kicking and punting is good, and the rest of the squad should play better.
