Quiz 27 of the day. Number 10 with Knapp

Pennslyvania vs Florida vs Wisconsin

Five teams left still. New York and Kentucky have the bye. The only team at risk here is the team that just lost last quiz: Wisconsin. That OT loss was devastating for Wisconsin as, had they won, they wouldn't have a loss, but they also would've gotten a bye, and now they have a real chance of losing against these two teams. Of course, lets not count Wisconsin out yet.

Q1: Error on FL, fail challenge by FL, error on PA, and WI gets the free. WI then gets the redo. WI is dominating! 
Q2: 1st error by WI, 2nd error by PA, and FL gets the free. FL then gets a two-verse quote on the repeat question. 
Q3: 2nd error on WI, FL gets the tossup.
Q4: WI gets twenty to tie with FL. PA has yet to score.
Q5: On cue, PA gets a quote to get on the board.

Score after 5: PA 20 FL 50 WI 50
Q6: 3rd error for PA and FL gets the tossup. PA had error trouble a few quizzes and were able to come back to get the high, so I know they can do it, but the competition is tougher now.
Q7: WI scores to catch FL.
Q8: 4th error on PA, FL gets the tossup.
Q9-10: Two more FL scores.

Score after 10: PA 10, FL 130, WI 70
Q11: PA runs out of time but gets the question anyway. They really needed something that wasn't an error.
Q12: FL gets another 20 but it's challenged by WI, debating whether garment is clothes or something like that. It's overruled, but now PA challenged that part of his answer was not in the verse that Knapp said. That shouldn't matter, and it's correctly overruled
Q13: PA gets another 20 to pull within 20 on WI.
Q14: WI widens the gasp with a quote. 
Q15: BUT PA gets 20 more. Error zone for FL and WI.

Score after 15: PA 70, FL 150, WI 90. 
Q16: Error for PA and toss up for WI proves almost deadly for PA, who trail by 50 with 4 questions to go. If WI gets another question, PA gets the loss.
Q17: Error on guessed quote by PA and WI gets the tossup. PA loses, now FL and WI play for seating in 2 rounds. Yeah, not seeding, seating, like where they will sit, cause they both will get a bye. Yawn.
Q18-20: PA gets the last 3 that are irrevelent.

Final Score PA 110 FL 150 WI 130

Last time PA suffered through error troubles, they came through regardless. This time, PA made literally one too many errors and it cost them. Now they get the play New York and Kentucky in what should be a really tough quiz. I think Pennslyvania is good enough to high-win that round, but they need to avoid both lot of errors, and also being gun-shy of those errors. Errors inherently don't ruin quizzes for teams, it's how you deal with them and/or respond to them.
