Dak Attack
With the suspension of Georgia running back Todd Gurley, Mississippi State quarterback Dak Prescott (1,478 yards and 14 touchdowns) has vaulted to the top of the leader board in the race for the 2014 Heisman. Prescott has led the Bulldogs to a 6--0 start, including three straight wins over top 10 teams, and a No. 1 ranking. Will he continue as the Heisman front-runner? Or will Oregon QB Marcus Mariota or Baylor QB Bryce Petty overtake him? Go to SI.com/college-football for Zac Ellis's weekly Heisman Watch, including his list of top 10 candidates and breakdowns of the week's top performers.

As successful as some athletes are on the field, some find even more success after they retire. Take former Navy and Cowboys quarterback Roger Staubach, who while leading Dallas to five Super Bowl berths and two titles in the 1970s, began selling life insurance and then started a real estate firm in '77. To learn more about Staubach and other athletes turned business leaders, go to SI.com/Pro-Files, a series from the editors of SPORTS ILLUSTRATED and FORTUNE.
