Why exclude bowl games?
its the way stats were once done. its only recently that they started including them, FWIW

42 total games
its 41, he is wrong and missed a game from his first season as well

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.
Several games for bo with almost no carries

You can pick and choose stats to prove anything, but overall their career numbers have been very similar to this point.
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

Like I said, if we know the numbers, it's perfectly reasonable to include them for statistical comparison purposes. Just because some games were historically excluded doesn't mean we can't use them to compare now. If you're correct about Bo having 41 games, then he had 110 ypg vs Chubbs' 105.
It's nearly impossible to compare talent using stats because of different eras, teams, style of play, etc. Bryce Love at Stanford has nearly 1500 yds on 150 carries this year; great numbers but probably overstate his talent. Anyway, the stats are close for Chubb and Jackson, slight edge to Bo.
