One week after Mississippi State made the cover of Sports Illustrated for the first time, quarterback Dak Prescott will be featured on a regional cover this week, the publication announced Wednesday.

Last week's cover featured Mississippi State and Ole Miss with the headline "Mississippi Mayhem," with a story on the two school's incredible start to the college football season. This week's online piece is headlined, "Mississippi Mayhem, The Sequel."

Prescott, considered a front runner for the Heisman Trophy, is receiving credit for leading State's resurgence. Prescott has passed for 1,478 yards and 14 touchdowns.

Perhaps another reason for the cover is how fast last week's issue sold. One book store, Books-A-Million in northeast Jackson, sold out of that issue in less than an hour.
