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

Haha.....right. Also the only back on that list with a 50 yard game, too.

This thread will degrade into a troll feast.
Chubb, like Bo, is an outstanding ambassador for his school and the conference. We are lucky to have them.

Now he hesitates for a fraction of a second. Sony's a much more instinctive runner now than Chubb.
Last year, you are absolutely correct. He's about as close to pre-injury as I think anyone could hope for. Kid worked his arse off to get back. He's a machine.
As for Sony, I would say that he will be the better NFL back between the two, just based on how RBs are being used in the league these days. That said, Chubb is very underrated in the receiving game.

He played 41 games. Take a look at the stats, does '84 not stand out? your copy and paste is incorrect
I agree with you and I'm going to defer to the fan who seems to know what he's talking about. I don't blame him for taking the number that's listed, but it's clearly wrong based on the sharp decline in attempts and yards for that season.

1985 Jackson shared the backfield with two other backs who totaled 1086 yards, Chubb shares the backfield with 4 other backs who have totaled 1509 yards with 3 regular season games to play. I think it is safe to say Chubb would have a lot more yards than Jackson if we didnt spread the ball around as much. My two cents,i guess you could also argue that he would be over used and tired/less effective. Either way both are/were awesome backs.

of course and he is going to play in two more games than Bo did, he also wont finish with more yards than Bo did in '85
And you could say Bo shared with 4 other backs who finished with 264 carries vs 226(through 9 games) to be equal comparison

quote:That's inaccurate. See here.
Jackson played in 45 games.
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.

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.

its the way stats were once done. its only recently that they started including them, FWIW

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

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

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.

Except in major statistical categories by which we define running backs.
