Years ago, American Express ran a comical advertising campaign. It was to feature a famous person who had had someone else steal the spotlight and the famous person was left in the wings for no good reason.

Nick Chubb must be able to relate to those commercials.

Last week, LSU’s Leonard Fournette literally ran up, over, through, past and even under Auburn’s defense en route to a 228-yard performance. But the biggest thing for Fournette is it was on national TV.

That gave other networks time to show the highlights, other broadcasters time to scream how great he is and for the news to travel across the country.

Meanwhile, Chubb sat waiting. He had to wait until Saturday night to play against South Carolina.

The sophomore from Cedartown, Ga., went out and was impressive with a 159 yards and two touchdowns against the Gamecocks, but by the time was over, there were still Fournette highlights all over TV.

But it is possible that Chubb has been more impressive than the LSU running back. He is averaging 156 yards per game this season and has scored four touchdowns.

But what could be most impressive is Chubb’s consistency. Saturday against Southern, he will attempt to have his 12th consecutive 100-yard game. The only question is whether the Georgia coaches will leave him in the game long enough to achieve the mark. As for Chubb, that doesn’t exactly keep him up at night.

“I care about it, but it’s not something I get up every day thinking about,” Chubb told DawgNation.com. “If I don’t get 100 yards it wouldn’t really bother me, as long as we won the game. … If I don’t need to be in the game, that’s fine.”

The UGA record is 13 consecutive 100-yard games held by Herschel Walker.

It is early, but experts are already predicting the Heisman race will come down to Chubb and Fournette. At this point the numbers don’t matter — what does is exposure.

Georgia will be the CBS national game in two weeks when Alabama goes to Sanford Stadium and Chubb will get the chance to get the spotlight as LSU hosts Eastern Michigan in a less-than-marquee game.

Perhaps the best thing to do in evaluating these two is to look at the common opponents. Each play Alabama, Florida and Auburn. With what Fournette did to the Tigers already, Chubb should want to especially shine in that game when the Bulldogs travel to Auburn Nov. 14.

Another factor is divisional play. Georgia is atop the East and the only competition it seems can come from the division is from Missouri, which has not set the world on fire, and Tennessee, which has an injured list almost as long as its roster.

Meanwhile, LSU still has to play Alabama, Arkansas, Texas A&M and the Landshark defense at Ole Miss.

During the rest of the season, some things are certain for Chubb. He will quietly keep racking up yards. He will keep contributing to wins. He will not try to bring the spotlight on himself.

Chubb won’t have to seek the attention. His play will attract it.

His name is Nick Chubb. Do not forget it.
