No one is mad. I am highlighting for emphasis, not out of anger. Maybe you don't know how to read and just want to stir the pot like most on here. If a journalist/writer can't write simple sentences to write what he means, he shouldn't be a writer. I know how to read. As stated, multiple vs 1st and 2nd team means at least 4 TDs. I hope that stats come out at some point to show proof. I would love to see them. I don't care what situations were presented. If they both got the same number of reps vs 1st and 2nd teams and KC threww 4 TDs to JGs 0. KC is in the drivers seat at least right now.
Well, just for S&G, I'll play devil's advocate here. The article's author said, "Chryst had multiple touchdown passes during the intrasquad work against both the Vols’ opening 11 and second-team defense." While I agree that it's not the most precisely written sentence, one could make the argument that the intended meaning was that the TDs were against both Ds combined, not each, because he otherwise would have said "Chryst had multiple touchdown passes during the intrasquad work against each of the Vols’ opening 11 and second-team defense." In fact, that would have been the preferred wording if it really were the case that there at least two each. If not, he should have left the word "both" out of it entirely because its inclusion created the ambiguity.
All that said, I have no doubt that you and I combined have given that sentence 72 times more thought than the author did.
