With Mississippi State's Anthony Dixon rushing for a career-high 252 yards on Saturday night in the 31-24 win over Kentucky, picking the two best running backs in the SEC this season is going to be one tough task.

Alabama's Mark Ingram was already over 1,000 yards before this weekend, but Dixon also went over 1,000 yards with his big night and is right on Ingram's heels now for the SEC rushing lead with an average of 125.1 yards per game.

Auburn's Ben Tate also went over 1,000 yards earlier in the day Saturday in the Tigers' 33-20 win over Ole Miss, and don't count out Tennessee's Montario Hardesty, either.
