ESPN: Mississippi State QB Dak Prescott could regain Heisman lead against Alabama
For three weeks, Dak Prescott put on a clinic.
On the biggest stages, he flourished. In back-to-back-to-back games against top-10 opponents, he not only lifted Mississippi State to its first-ever No. 1 ranking, he became a star in the process.
The no-name Louisiana kid, whom LSU slow-played in the recruiting process, went into Death Valley on Sept. 20 and announced himself to the college football world. His 56-yard touchdown run that night was the stuff of legends -- the way he broke through the line, stiff-armed a defender, juked another and leaped into the end zone.
