It happens on average about once per year under CNS since Bama turned it around 2008 and forward. To be specific, only 7 rushers from 2008 to 2015 rushed for over 100 yds against Saban's teams.

The next closest team was LSU allowing only 25 100+ yd rushers in the same period.

Coming into this year, Bama has only allowed 33 of its 103 FBS opponents to rush for 100 yds (only 32% of teams played).

So, yes, Bama is about due this year for a 100 yd rusher. But, it still won't help even if it does happen.

SDS: Surprise, Bama is pretty damn good against the run even if Tre Mason got 150+ in 2013.

Forget Pettaway for a second, will Jalen Hurts derp his way through a game like he did against an FCS school last week? Auburn has a very good defense, on par with LSU's I'd say. And I fully expect Bama to start slow with the SEC West wrapped up and Auburn has nothing to lose.
