Dak Prescott Continues To Lead ESPN's Heisman Experts' Poll, Marcus Mariota A Close No. 2
This past weekend of college football didn't do much to the Heisman race.
For the second week in a row, Dak Prescott sits atop the ESPN Experts' Poll. The Mississippi State quarterback did not play this past weekend with the Bulldogs having a bye. He's thrown for 1,478 yards and 14 touchdowns while rushing for 576 yards and eight touchdowns this season.
Marcus Mariota is making up ground, though, coming off a 336-yard, two-touchdown game during Oregon's 45-20 victory against Washington.

The full poll:
- MSU QB Dak Prescott - 47 points
- Oregon QB Marcus Mariota - 42 points
- Wisconsin RB Melvin Gordon - 25 points
- Alabama WR Amari Cooper - 9 points
- FSU QB Jameis Winston - 9 points
- ND QB Everett Golson - 8 points
- WVU WR Kevin White - 5 points
- Nebraska RB Ameer Abdullah - 3 points
- USC RB Buck Allen - 1 point
- Georgia RB Todd Gurley - 1 point
There aren't many big games involving Heisman contenders this Saturday, with Mississippi State facing a seemingly easy game against Kentucky and Oregon facing California.
The player with the most to gain might be a player not currently on the board - Ohio State quarterback J.T. Barrett. The redshirt freshman will play on a primetime stage Saturday night, with the Buckeyes facing Penn State at Beaver Stadium at 8 p.m. E.T.
