The second-year student in the UT College of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences went head to head with another college student during a 30-second contest and threw more footballs through a hole two feet in diameter in a ginormous soda can five yards away. Burns put 16 footballs in the can.
And she did it live on national TV during halftime of the Big 12 Championship game.
