Differential Red Zone Defense (DRZD): A ratio that shows how good you are at preventing touchdowns in the red zone compared to all the other defenses that your opponents faced.
Differential Red Zone Protection (DRZP): A stat that I made up to show how good you are at keeping teams out of the red zone.
The Cheaters were much better at both before they were caught cheating...
As you can see, their Red Zone protection dropped noticeably, but their Red Zone defense fell off a cliff. Before they were caught they were the ONLY defense with a DRZD of less than 0.5 ... AND they were also less than 0.2... They were historically great.
And then suddenly they were only slightly above average.
Obviously they were still able to cheat, but less effectively, before the red zone. In the red zone, it appears that their cheating was almost entirely negated. In previous posts I guessed that they were still using the laminates left behind by Stalions, but they were keeping them in the press box, out of sight. This added latency to their communication and thus limited the effectiveness of the cheating. It is well known that many teams speed up in the red zone... perhaps the increased latency in their cheating scheme left them unable to keep up when teams started going fast in the red zone.
I heartily agree with @Zurp ... we don't need any of this ... we already knew they were still cheating after they were caught.
But you also knew that the Buckeyes were good at football, but some of you still seem to like it when I post stats that prove it. So this is kind of the same. We know they were cheating. It's just nice to have objective facts to rub their faces in... facts that show that the cheating made a HUGE difference and that it was STILL happening after they were caught, thus rendering their victories and the concomitant hardware utterly fraudulent. They don't like it when I point that out; that's why I do it.

Or maybe compare that one MAC cupcake they played where Spinny Fuckface threw 3 picks, presumably because they didn't feel the need to steal signals for that game.

Which teams-with-a-heartbeat? You mean the almighty Boilermakers, who the Cheaters played after Sparty and scored on 100% of their red zone opportunities against the Cheaters?
Or perhaps you mean the Terrifying Terrapins who scored on all of their red zone opportunities, 3 of them touchdowns?
DIFFERENTIAL Red Zone Defense corrects for the level of competition. It reveals that, regardless of the level of competition, the thing that changed the most was the performance of the Cheaters (in the red zone). Teams that are truly great have better differential defensive numbers against better competition, because those teams have higher numbers that leave more room for being brought down. You can't improve your differential defense numbers much against weak offenses, even if you shut them out.

Wrong glass, Sir.
And the Vikings are currently in the finding out stage regarding how dependent that prick was on Stalions.
