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

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.
Why exclude bowl games if we know the numbers? If I'm reading your post correctly, Bo had 4496 yds in 42 total games (including bowls), or 107 ypg. Chubb has 4291 yds in 41 total games (including bowls), or 105 ypg. Pretty comparable numbers.
Also, haven't looked at Jackson's rushing attempts in individual games, but Chubb only had one carry (2 yds) in the 2015 Tennesse game because of his knee injury, and one carry (3 yds) in 2016 Tennessee game because of knee problems resulting from that same injury.
You can pick and choose stats to prove anything, but overall their career numbers have been very similar to this point.

Several games for bo with almost no carries

agreed. the only thing Bo has a slight lead on is YPC, but IMO that is not a stat to look at. Yards per game and TD's per game are the two, simply because they will play an unequal amount of games. But they are almost identical
