Gone "too" soon, not "to" soon. Also, on the Style page, adjust the widths so that most of the quiz fits on the screen without scrolling. Try Year/Athlete/Epitaph (not "Epitath") set to 10%/25%/65%.

Josh Hancock wasn't killed by a drunk driver, HE was drunk and drove into a parked tow truck while texting and not wearing a seatbelt.
