re: 12 yards. That’s all Chubb needs to pass the great Bo Jackson...

Jackson played in 45 games.

That's inaccurate. See here.

Bo appeared in only 7 games in 1984. He separated his shoulder in week 2 vs Texas, and didn't dress out for the next 6 games. He carried only 13 times combined against Florida and Cincinnati coming off his injury. He also missed a game in 1985 with a deep thigh bruise.

So, despite what you may have read elsewhere, Bo played in 42 games over 4 seasons. Also, unlike Chubb, Bo didn't surpass 22 carries in a single game until the opener in his Senior season, and only surpassed 20 carries 12 times in his career. Chubb has already rushed for 20 or more attempts 13 times, with 5 games remaining barring injury.

ETA: Just realized, Chubb has 4291 including bowl games. Bo had 4303 yards in 39 regular season games. If you add in his 3 bowl appearances, Bo rushed for 4496 yards, which means Chubb is still 205 yards behind Bo.

Or, put another way, Chubb has rushed for only 3883 yards in 39 regularly scheduled games, meaning he is actually 420 yards shy of Bo's mark.
