You could only export your feed URLs from Google Reader. They had content archived, but you couldn't easily export the content. People wrote their own scrapers, it was a big mess and no one knows how much content only existed in Reader that was deleted when it went down.

There is a backup tool on github[1], I use it exported my feed when a saw the news.
