Best Running Back in SEC?

According to espn.com's Chris Low, Knowshon Moreno tops the list of the SEC's best running backs: http://myespn.go.com/blogs/sec/0-1-689/Moreno-tops-list-of-talented-SEC-runners.html

Knowshon Moreno is a great running back, don't get me wrong, but the best in the SEC? I would argue that by default, he is. However, Low crowns Moreno based on his last performance against Vandy, a team that he demolished last year. With the balance UGA has on offense, almost any running back should be able to run effectively when his team-mates are playing their game. Credit does go out to Moreno for running well behind that patchwork O-line, and he will likely be a good NFL running back, but to be the best in the SEC, you need to at least lead your league in rushing.

Michael Smith of Arkansas -- yes Arkansas -- leads the SEC in rushing. Arkansas is horrible this year (and not regrettably so with Petrino at the helm), yet this guy Smith leads the SEC in rushing. Moreno is second in the league, granted, but only by two yards over Alabama's Glenn Coffee (like the drink, only spelled the same). Moreno should be better than this so far this year and he still has time to do so.

Prove it against LSU this week, Knowshon, and I'll crown you best. Until then, you can do better.
